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

backgroundProduction of chemoattractant factors by the intestinal epithelium may contribute to mucosal infiltration by inflammatory cells in inflammatory bowel disease. Secretion of the alpha chemokine interleukin 8 (IL-8), a neutrophil chemoattractant, has been widely studied, but little is known about epithelial secretion of beta chemokines, which are preferentially involved in recruiting monocytes.

aimsTo investigate the profiles of alpha and beta chemokine secretion in colonic cell lines and their differential modulation by interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), a product of activated T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. METHODS AND

resultsHT29-19A, a model of the CT secretory crypt cell, exhibited a parallel secretion of the alpha chemokines IL-8 and GRO alpha, which could be markedly upregulated by tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and IL-1 beta. These cells showed no significant expression of the beta chemokines RANTES (regulated upon activation T cell expressed and secreted), MIP-1 alpha (macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha), and MCP-1 (monocyte chemotactic protein 1) under these conditions, but IFN-gamma in combination with TNF-alpha caused a dose dependent induction of RANTES and MCP-1 secretion. This was accompanied by a marked increase of RANTES mRNA. In contrast, IFN-gamma had no significant effect on TNF-alpha stimulated IL-8 secretion. Caco-2 cells, with features more typical of villus absorptive cells, were relatively poor secretors of alpha chemokines but secreted high levels of MCP-1 in response to IL-1 beta. IFN-gamma did not influence alpha or beta chemokine secretion in these cells.

conclusionsThese studies suggest that intestinal epithelial cells may produce chemokines capable of attracting both neutrophils and monocytes. The ability of IFN-gamma to activate the expression of beta chemokines preferentially could facilitate the development of chronic inflammatory infiltrates.
