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

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is present in capsaicin-sensitive sensory neurons and inflammatory/immune cells, therefore it is suggested to play a role in neuro-immune interactions. Our aim was to investigate the role of PACAP in oxazolone-induced delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction in the skin using deficient mice (PACAP(-/-)). Sensitization was induced by 2% oxazolone application on the shaved abdomen on two consecutive days; inflammation was elicited by oxazolone smearing on the ears 6 days later. Ear thickness was measured by micrometry. Histological examination, cytokine profile [IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1: MCP-1, IFN-γ, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)] and myeloperoxidase activity correlating with the number of neutrophils/macrophages were determined 24 and 48 h later. Oxazolone induced a 110-130% swelling after 24-48 h in wild-type mice, which was significantly greater in PACAP-deficient mice. Histological analysis confirmed markedly increased edema in PACAP(-/-) mice, but the moderately enhanced inflammatory cell accumulation was not statistically significant compared with the wild-types. There was no difference in myeloperoxidase activity of the ear homogenates. Elevation of MCP-1, but not the levels of the other cytokines, was significantly higher in the samples of the PACAP-deficient mice. These results suggest that PACAP exerts anti-inflammatory, particularly edema-inhibiting effects in allergic contact dermatitis.
