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

BACKGROUND/

aimInvolvement of programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its ligands has been demonstrated in experimental allergic airway disease. Here, the authors aimed to examine whether PD-1 and its ligands are involved in the development of experimental allergic conjunctivitis (EC) in mice.

methodsEC was induced in Balb/c mice by active immunisation with short ragweed pollen (RW) in alum. 10 days later (day 10), the mice were challenged with eye drops containing RW. 24 hours after the challenge, conjunctivas, spleens, and sera were harvested for histological analysis, cytokine assays, and measurement of RW specific Ig levels. The actively immunised mice were treated with anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2 antibodies (Abs), or normal rat immunoglobulin G (nrIgG) during either the induction (day 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8) or the effector (2 hours before RW challenge on day 10) phase.

resultsAb treatment during the induction phase did not affect eosinophil infiltration although immune responses were modulated. In contrast, treatment with anti-PD-L2 Ab, but not anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 Ab, during the effector phase significantly increased eosinophil infiltration into the conjunctiva without affecting systemic immune responses.

conclusionsSimilar to allergic airway inflammation, PD-L2 is involved in the development of EC during the effector phase but not the induction phase.
