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

IECs likely play an important role in immunological defense mechanism. Apart from being a passive barrier against luminal bacteria, IECs secrete protective and microbiocidal products such as ITF, complement components and cryptdins into the lumen. Moreover, IECs produce secretory component that is essential for the transport of IgA from the lamina propria into the lumen. IECs also have regulatory functions. They express adhesion molecules important in the homing of T cells and other leukocytes, and likely modulate T cell functions in a paracrine way. Furthermore, IECs secrete cytokines, either constitutively or after bacterial challenge, and they express cytokine receptors. Lastly, IECs may play an important role as non-professional antigen-presenting cells by expressing classical MHC class I and class II and nonclassical MHC class I molecules on the cell surface. This aspect is particularly intriguing in that IECs also express a FcR that may have a function in luminal antigen sampling.
