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

Three frequent genetic polymorphisms in the human high-affinity IgE receptor alpha-subunit (FcepsilonRIalpha) were shown to be associated with allergic disorders and/or total serum IgE levels in allergic patients. Two of these were previously demonstrated to affect FcepsilonRIalpha expression while the third -18483A>C (rs2494262) has not yet been subjected to functional studies. We hypothesized that the -18483A>C variant affects transcriptional activity of the FcepsilonRIalpha distal promoter in monocytes in which FcepsilonRIalpha transcription is driven through that regulatory region. Indeed, we confirmed preferential binding of the YY1 transcription factor to the -18483C allele, resulting in lower transcriptional activity when compared with the -18483A allele.
