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

backgroundSphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), which is produced by 2 sphingosine kinase (SphK) isoenzymes, SphK1 and SphK2, has been implicated in IgE-mediated mast cell responses. However, studies of allergic inflammation in isotype-specific SphK knockout mice have not clarified their contribution, and the role that S1P plays in vivo in a mast cell- and IgE-dependent murine model of allergic asthma has not yet been examined.

objectiveWe used an isoenzyme-specific SphK1 inhibitor, SK1-I, to investigate the contributions of S1P and SphK1 to mast cell-dependent airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and airway inflammation in mice.

methodsAllergic airway inflammation and AHR were examined in a mast cell-dependent murine model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma. C57BL/6 mice received intranasal delivery of SK1-I before sensitization and challenge with OVA or only before challenge.

resultsSK1-I inhibited antigen-dependent activation of human and murine mast cells and suppressed activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), a master transcription factor that regulates the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. SK1-I treatment of mice sensitized to OVA in the absence of adjuvant, in which mast cell-dependent allergic inflammation develops, significantly reduced OVA-induced AHR to methacholine; decreased numbers of eosinophils and levels of the cytokines IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13, IFN-γ, and TNF-α and the chemokines eotaxin and CCL2 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; and decreased pulmonary inflammation, as well as activation of NF-κB in the lungs.

conclusionS1P and SphK1 play important roles in mast cell-dependent, OVA-induced allergic inflammation and AHR, in part by regulating the NF-κB pathway.
