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

Elevated neurotrophin concentrations have been shown in nasal and bronchoalveolar lavage fluids as well as in the sera of patients with allergic rhinitis and asthma. Concentration of nerve growth factor correlated with disease severity, bronchial hyperreactivity, and levels of mediators released from eosinophils. Due to the release of cationic proteins, oxygen species, and cytokines after degranulation, eosinophils contribute to tissue damage and can influence airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma. It has been hypothesized that neurotrophins may be involved in the development of eosinophilia and in activation of these cells. The aim of this review is to elucidate the direct and indirect mechanisms of neurotrophins contributing to eosinophilia in allergic diseases.
