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

TLR ligands and other allergen-nonspecific immunostimulatory molecules are ubiquitous in ambient air and have profound modulatory activities in animal models of allergic asthma. However, several of these molecules have been shown to promote exaggerated Th2-biased airway hypersensitivity responses (AHRs), whereas others attenuate the asthmatic phenotype. Therefore, it has proven difficult to extrapolate experimental results with purified molecules toward a more general understanding of the allergen-nonspecific immunomodulatory influence of living environments on the natural history of allergic asthma. These investigations determined how regular and intermittent airway exposures to an unpurified, but sterile house dust extract standard (HDEst) affected the OVA-specific AHR and immune status of previously Th2-sensitized mice. Low-dose daily and high-dose intermittent HDEst exposures modulated ongoing AHRs considerably, reducing eosinophil recruitment and methacholine responsiveness, while increasing neutrophilic inflammation. However, only daily airway delivery of low-dose HDEst attenuated OVA-specific Th2 cytokine production and Th2-biased AHRs to allergen challenge 1 mo later. Finally, whereas LPS mimicked many of the immunomodulatory characteristics of HDEst in this murine asthma model, daily airway HDEst delivery was highly effective in attenuating the AHR of OVA/alum-sensitized TLR4-deficient mice. Taken together, these investigations provide direct evidence that living environments contain allergen-nonspecific immunostimulatory molecules that influence the airway hypersensitivity status of allergen-sensitized mice by TLR4-dependent and independent mechanisms.
