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

backgroundStaphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) may be associated with the exacerbation of atopic dermatitis. We investigated whether SEB causes proliferation of sensory C-fibers and subsequent enhancement of plasma leakage induced by sensorineural stimulation in rat skin.

methodsSEB was applied intracutaneously to the abdomen of preweaning and adult rats. Evans blue dye leakage into the skin induced by topical 10% formalin was measured as an index of neurogenic skin vascular permeability. Local expression of substance P, tachykinin NK1 receptors, and nerve growth factor was assessed immunohistochemically. In addition, we assessed the effects of topical tacrolimus on these skin responses induced by SEB.

resultsIncreased neurogenic skin plasma leakage was seen 7 days after SEB treatment in 2 different age groups. Innervation of substance P-immunoreactive nerves and expression of tachykinin NK1 receptors and nerve growth factor were also promoted by SEB, peaking at 7 days, 7 days, and 56 h after SEB treatment, respectively. Tacrolimus markedly inhibited these skin changes.

conclusionsSEB increased the innervation of sensory C-fibers and tachykinin NK1 receptors in rat skin, probably because of upregulated production of neurotrophins, including nerve growth factor, leading to enhancement of neurogenic skin inflammation. T cell activation induced by SEB may initiate these changes.
