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

backgroundStaphylococcus aureus produces a set of proteins which act both as superantigens and toxins. Although their mode of action as superantigens is well understood, little is known about their effects on airway epithelial cells.

methodsTo investigate this problem, primary nasal epithelial cells derived from normal and asthmatic subjects were stimulated with staphylococcal enterotoxin A and B (SEA and SEB) and secreted (supernatants) and cell-associated (cell lysates) IL-8, TNF-alpha, RANTES and eotaxin were determined by specific ELISAs.

resultsNon-toxic concentrations of SEA and SEB (0.01 microg/ml and 1.0 microg/ml) induced IL-8 secretion after 24 h of culture. Pre-treatment of the cells with IFN-gamma (50 IU/ml) resulted in a further increase of IL-8 secretion. In cells from healthy donors pretreated with IFN-gamma, SEA at 1.0 mug/ml induced release of 1009 pg/ml IL-8 (733.0-1216 pg/ml, median (range)) while in cells from asthmatic donors the same treatment induced significantly higher IL-8 secretion - 1550 pg/ml (1168.0-2000.0 pg/ml p = 0.04). Normal cells pre-treated with IFN-gamma and then cultured with SEB at 1.0 mug/ml released 904.6 pg/ml IL-8 (666.5-1169.0 pg/ml). Cells from asthmatics treated in the same way produced significantly higher amounts of IL-8--1665.0 pg/ml (1168.0-2000.0 pg/ml, p = 0.01). Blocking antibodies to MHC class II molecules added to cultures stimulated with SEA and SEB, reduced IL-8 secretion by about 40% in IFN-gamma unstimulated cultures and 75% in IFN-gamma stimulated cultures. No secretion of TNF-alpha, RANTES and eotaxin was noted.

conclusionStaphylococcal enterotoxins may have a role in the pathogenesis of asthma.
