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

backgroundT-cell infiltration of the epithelium is a key feature of chronic rhinosinusitis and asthma. Viral infections are an important cause of disease exacerbations. We have found virus-induced expression of T cell-interacting ligands, B7 homolog costimulatory molecules, on airway epithelium.

objectiveWe tested the ability of human rhinovirus (HRV) 16 and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to alter the expression of B7 homologs on human airway epithelial cells.

methodsBEAS2B and primary human airway epithelial cells were exposed in vitro to dsRNA (25 microg/mL) or HRV-16, and then expression of cell-surface protein and mRNA for B7 homologs was assessed by means of flow cytometry and real-time PCR, respectively. Additionally, human subjects were infected with HRV-16 in vivo, and mRNA for B7 homologs was assessed by means of real-time PCR in fresh nasal epithelial cell scrapings obtained before and daily up to 4 days after infection.

resultsdsRNA exposure of BEAS2B and human primary bronchial epithelial cells resulted in increased levels of cell-surface and mRNA expression of B7-H1 and B7-DC but not B7-H2 or B7-H3. Exposure of primary cells to HRV-16 resulted in induction of cell-surface expression of B7-H1 and B7-DC. Pretreatment with fluticasone propionate failed to suppress the induction of B7-H1 and B7-DC. Nasal scrapings taken at the time of peak symptom scores (3 days) after infection of 6 human subjects with HRV-16 displayed selective induction of levels of mRNA for B7-H1 and B7-DC.

conclusionThese data show that HRV-16 infection or exposure to dsRNA induces epithelial B7-H1 and B7-DC.
