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

Allergic disorders are viewed generally as organ diseases and thus referred to organ specialists, such as the ear, nose and throat specialist for rhinitis, the pulmonologist for asthma, the dermatologist for dermatitis, and so on. Indeed, the systemic nature of allergy is made evident by the fact that the same individual may develop during the life different manifestations to a given allergen. This is true for example in sensitisation to house dust mites, which may start in childhood as atopic dermatitis and later express as asthma or rhinitis. The major player in driving the immune response is the T lymphocyte, and the T helper subpopulations--Th1 and Th2--as well as the T regulatory cells, are involved in orienting tolerance or reactivity to allergens. Interesting observations on the systemic or organ-specific actions of T cells were obtained by transplantations from allergic donors to non-allergic recipients. Bone marrow is able to transfer all allergic manifestations, while lung transplantation transfers only asthma. A number of factors are involved in the expression of allergy as a systemic or organ disease and deserve deeper investigations. They include the antigen presenting cells, the homing of T cells, the cytokine and chemokine pattern, and the adhesion molecules.
