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

We have shown that peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients with atopic dermatitis have a reduced in vitro proliferative responsiveness to concanavalin A when compared with non-atopic controls. Addition of the cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor indomethacin caused a significant enhancement of the mitogen response in the patients, indicating a suppressive effect of cyclooxygenase products. We have further demonstrated increased levels of prostaglandin E2 in the supernatants of the PBMC cultures and increased levels of IgE immune complexes in the sera of the atopic dermatitis patients and therefore hypothesize that IgE immune complexes may cause increased monocyte production of prostaglandins which in turn appears to be responsible for a reduced lymphocyte proliferation.
