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

In several animal models of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), T cell responses to self 60-kD heat-shock protein 60 (hsp60) protect against the induction of arthritis. The nature of this suppressive T cell activity induced by self hsp60 is not clear. In the present study, T cell responses to human (self) hsp60 in RA in terms of type 1 (T1) and type 2 (T2) T cell activity were assessed. The results show that human and not bacterial hsp60-reactive synovial fluid (SF) T cells of patients with RA proliferate in the presence of the T2 cell growth factor IL-4. SF T cells stimulated with human hsp60 produced significantly lower amounts of IFN-gamma and higher amounts of IL-4 than SF T cells stimulated with bacterial hsp60 (P </= 0.002 and 0.05, respectively), and consequently a lower T1/T2 cell cytokine ratio was observed for human versus bacterial hsp60 (P </= 0.004). Additionally, human and not mycobacterial hsp60-specific T cell lines suppressed TNF-alpha production. Together, our results suggest that human hsp60, as overexpressed in inflamed synovium of patients with RA, can contribute to suppression of arthritis by the stimulation of regulatory suppressive T cell activity.
