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

purpose of reviewThis review highlights recent findings regarding the immune regulation of allergic conjunctivitis. Mouse models have facilitated prospective studies that have not been possible in patients. The availability of gene knockout mice and the wealth of monoclonal antibodies have permitted exquisite dissection of the pathophysiology and immune regulation of allergic conjunctivitis. RECENT

findingsNew insights have emerged in three areas: role of costimulatory molecules in the induction of Th2 immune responses; crucial role of IFN-gamma in the expression of allergic conjunctivitis; and the function of T regulatory cells in shaping conjunctival inflammation once the immune response has been initiated. SUMMARY: Allergic conjunctivitis involves early phase and late phase reactions. The early phase reaction is IgE antibody-dependent, whereas the late phase reaction is IgE-independent and is mediated by inflammatory cells, especially eosinophils. Recent studies on mouse models of allergic conjunctivitis have provided important insights into the immune regulation of both the early phase reaction and late phase reaction of allergic conjunctivitis. Mounting evidence suggests that IFN-gamma is crucial for optimum expression of allergic conjunctivitis. Costimulatory molecules influence the induction of Th2 immune responses and the early phase reaction, whereas regulatory T cells shape the expression of the late phase reaction of allergic conjunctivitis.
