1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Trichinella spiralis occupies an intramulticellular niche in the small intestinal epithelium, and thus we examined the intestine and gut-associated tissues for proinflammatory cytokines during the infection. We document the patterns of interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, gamma interferon, and tumor necrosis factor alpha mRNA expression in the duodenum, jejunum, Peyer's patches, mesenteric lymph node, spleen, and liver in T. spiralis-infected rats. By reverse transcription-PCR detection of mRNAs, IL-1beta was found increased in the jejunum but only on day 2. The jejunal IL-1beta increase was attributed to the epithelium by isolating epithelial cells and then depleting them of intraepithelial lymphocytes prior to analysis. The only cytokine for which mRNA was substantially increased in tissues later in infection was tumor necrosis factor alpha in the spleen and, to a lesser extent, in the mesenteric lymph node. In fact mRNA levels for some cytokines declined below uninfected levels in some organs during the infection. IL-1 may be important in the initiation of the intestinal inflammatory response to this infection.
