Review in Current allergy and asthma reports, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers.

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

Twenty-five percent of the population are permanent carriers of Staphylococcus aureus, possibly producing a variety of toxins with superantigenic properties. Staphylococcal superantigens are a group of high- molecular-weight pyrogenic proteins that have in common an extremely potent stimulatory activity for T-lymphocytes, macrophages, mast cells, eosinophils, and epithelial cells. The role of staphylococcal superantigens in atopic dermatitis has recently been recognized, and new evidence suggests that similar mechanisms may also be relevant in airway disease. This circumstantial evidence is currently limited to rhinitis, sinusitis, and possibly asthma, but may, if supported, open a new understanding of pathomechanisms and therapeutic targets.
