Spring brings breezes, wheezes, and pollen oxidases.
Article in The Journal of clinical investigation, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
While the release of pollen into the air is essential for the reproduction of plants, the accidental yet inevitable uptake of pollen into human airways can cause symptoms of seasonal allergies and asthma. The symptomatic response to pollen is caused by granulocytes that produce inflammation, which is due in part to oxidative stress through the action of NADPH oxidases. The recruitment of these inflammatory granulocytes was previously thought to depend entirely on the activation of an adaptive immune response. In this issue of the JCI, Boldogh et al. demonstrate that pollens contain endogenous NADPH oxidase activity, which functions to generate local "danger signals" in nearby airway epithelium. These signals in turn trigger the early recruitment of granulocytes, even in the absence of the adaptive immune response. These findings suggest that inhibition of the pollen oxidase may provide a way to antagonize allergic inflammation at a very early step.
