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

Nasal polyps represent an often severe T-cell-orchestrated eosinophilic upper airway disease with currently unknown pathogenesis, often associated with lower airway disease, such as asthma. Superantigens, predominantly derived from Staphylococcus aureus, are potent activators of T cells, induce the synthesis of IgE in B cells, and have direct effects on pro-inflammatory cells, such as eosinophils. IgE antibodies to S. aureus enterotoxins have been described in polyp tissue, linked to a local polyclonal IgE production and an aggravation of eosinophilic inflammation. Furthermore, such IgE antibodies have also been described in the sera of patients with asthma, and linked to severity of disease and steroid insensitivity. This review summarizes our current understanding of the possible role of S. aureus enterotoxins in chronic severe airway disease, such as nasal polyposis.
