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

CD14 is responsible for environmental lipopolysaccharide recognition and is a positional candidate gene for allergy. We hypothesized that genetic polymorphisms in the promoter region of the CD14 gene may be associated with Dermatophagoides pteronysinnus (Der p) allergen sensitization in children. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CD14 promoter region, C(-159)T, A(-1,145)G, and G(-1,359)T were genotyped, and analyzed in 240 randomized case-control school-age children in Taiwan. Serum concentrations of IgE and soluble CD14 (sCD14) were also assayed. We found a significant inverse correlation of sCD14 and total serum IgE levels in our study population. Moreover, sCD14 binds Der p allergen in vitro in a dose-dependent manner. The distribution of three SNPs genotypes was similar in asthmatic children and the control group. However, there was a significant difference in the distribution of genotype CD14 G(-1,359)T, but not C(-159)T, between mite-sensitive and non-sensitive children. Haplotype analysis showed strong linkage disequilibrium among these three SNPs in the CD14 promoter region. Carriers of the CD14-159C/-1,145A/-1,359T haplotype had the highest IgE and lowest sCD14 levels as compared to other haplotypes. Our results support the hypothesis that CD14 gene variants may play an important role in influencing allergen sensitization of children in Taiwan.
