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

The PI3K pathway plays a major role in many vital cell processes. Our primary aim was to investigate signalling through PI3K for in vitro degranulation from allergen-primed eosinophils and neutrophils in allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma after seasonal and experimental allergen challenge. Nine patients with allergic rhinitis, eight with allergic asthma and four controls were studied during birch pollen season and after nasal and bronchial allergen challenge. Primed blood eosinophils and neutrophils were stimulated for in vitro degranulation with C3b-coated Sephadex particles, after prior incubation with Wortmannin, a PI3K inhibitor. The released amounts of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were measured by radioimmunoassay. Wortmannin (10(-6) to 10(-9) M) inhibited ECP, EPO and MPO release in a dose-dependent manner in allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma in all three allergen challenge models. Inhibition of ECP release tended to be lower in the asthmatics in all allergen challenge models, statistically significant compared to the controls during season for 10(-8) M Wortmannin (p=0.01). A clear propensity towards less inhibition in the rhinitic patients was seen after nasal and bronchial challenge compared to seasonal exposure, significant for ECP (10(-8) M Wortmannin; p=0.034 and 0.002, respectively). Signalling through PI3K is clearly involved in ECP, EPO and MPO release in allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma irrespective of allergen challenge model. Allergic asthma demonstrated less inhibition of ECP release via PI3K during pollen season, indicating that other pathways play a greater role in eosinophil degranulation in allergic asthma than allergic rhinitis.
