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

backgroundBronchial asthma is a common disease caused by interplay between multiple determinants, including genetic and immune variations.

objectiveTo investigate the main indices of humoral and cellular branches of immunity, features of cytokine regulation and cytokine genes in children with atopic bronchial asthma (BA) with different levels of disease control.

designFifty children with controlled BA (CBA) and 50 with uncontrolled BA (UBA) were analyzed. Mean age in the sample was 13.36 ± 2.24 years. A control group of healthy children (n = 50) was also studied. All individuals were Russians (Eastern Slavs) from the Krasnoyarsk Territory, West Siberia. Diagnoses, severity and level of disease control were defined according to the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) recommendations. The lymphocytes were counted in blood using fluorescent microscopy. Humoral branch indices and cytokine levels (IL-2, IL-4, IL-10 and TNF-α) in blood serum were measured by ELISA. Genotyping of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in -590 position of the IL4 and -597 position of the IL10 gene was performed by restriction fragment length analysis.

resultsNo statistically significant differences in total IgE and cytokines blood levels were found in CBA and UBA. However, significant differences between the groups were found for CD(3+), CD(4+) and CD(8+) cell counts. The T-590 allele of the IL4 gene, which is responsible for an increased serum level of IL-4, showed a tendency to an association with UBA. A decreased level of IL-10 enhances control over BA, which proves its association with the allelic variant A-597 IL10.

conclusionOur data show that children with UBA have higher counts of CD(3+) cells and an increase of sub-population of CD(4+)-cells as well as higher levels of IgE, IL-4 and TNF-α in blood serum as compared to CBA. Polymorphisms of the IL4 and IL10 genes are associated with allergic inflammation in UBA.
