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

With a murine model of invasive aspergillosis we investigated cytokine production by CD4+ T helper cells and the effects of cytokine administration or neutralization on the course and outcome of infection. Patterns of susceptibility and resistance to infection were obtained with different strains of mice injected with different inocula of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia. Mice surviving the primary infection also resisted a subsequent lethal infection that was associated with production of gamma interferon by CD4+ T splenocytes. Impaired neutrophil antifungal activity, observed in susceptible mice, was concomitant with a predominant production of interleukin-4 (IL-4) by CD4+ splenocytes. In these mice, exogenous administration of IL-12 failed to induce resistance to infection; in contrast, treatment with soluble IL-4 receptor cured more than 70% of the mice from primary infection and resulted in the onset of acquired resistance to a subsequent lethal infection. These findings indicate that in murine invasive aspergillosis, production of IL-4 by CD4+ T cells may be one major factor discriminating susceptibility and resistance to infection.
