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

Allergen-specific immunotherapy is commonly performed with allergen extracts adsorbed to aluminium hydroxide (alum). The undesirable effects associated with the use of alum, including granuloma formation at the site of injection and stimulation of T helper 2 (Th2) cytokine production, has generated interest in alternative allergen carriers, one being carbohydrate-based particles (CBPs). Here, we have investigated the in vitro effects of the recombinant major cat allergen Fel d 1 (rFel d 1) coupled to CBPs (CBP-rFel d 1) on human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs) obtained from healthy blood donors. A majority of the CD1a(+) MDDCs internalized fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled CBP-rFel d 1, as demonstrated by flow cytometry and confocal laser-scanning microscopy. Furthermore, an up-regulation of the expression of the costimulatory molecule, CD86, on the MDDCs was induced by CBP-rFel d 1, but not by rFel d 1 or CBPs alone. Finally, three- and fourfold increases in the release of interleukin-8 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha, respectively, were observed when MDDCs were cultured in the presence of CBP-rFel d 1. Altogether, our results indicate that the use of CBPs as an allergen carrier and adjuvant is a promising candidate for the improvement of allergen-specific immunotherapy.
