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

backgroundIt is widely accepted that T helper 2 (Th2) cells, Th17 cells and their cytokines orchestrate the feature of asthma. However, most of studies on asthma mechanisms use a single allergen challenge model. Actually, humans are concurrently exposed to various allergens, and the mechanism of asthma with complex allergen exposure is less well defined. To explore whether the mechanism would be altered if asthma patients are re-exposed to another allergen, we exposed the chicken egg albumin (OVA) induced-asthmatic mice to house dust mite (HDM). MATERIAL/

methodsHE staining was used to analyze pathologic variation in lung tissue of mice in each sub-group: control group, HDM alone group, OVA alone group and OVA+HDM group. Th1, Th2 and Th17 associated gene mRNA expressions were detected by quantitative PCR; associated cytokines were determined by ELISA or immunohistochemistry.

resultsThe severe of inflammatory cell infiltration, the augmentation of Th17 and Th2 related gene mRNA expressions and the increase of Th17 associated cytokines expression were shown in OVA+HDM group in comparison with OVA alone group. However, Th2 related cytokines were increased with no significant difference in OVA+HDM group compared with OVA alone group.

conclusionsWe have found that Th17 response is connected with inflammation in the OVA-induced asthmatic mice exposed to HDM. When OVA-induced asthmatic mice are re-exposed to HDM, the pathomechanism is different from OVA alone exposure. HDM, indoor allergen, may be an important interferential factor for asthma therapy. It will give an important direction in the development of future asthma therapy.
