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

Autoallergy is a phenomenon found in a subgroup of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). These patients exhibit serum IgE reactivity toward autoantigens like the alpha-chain of the nascent polypeptide-associated complex (α-NAC; Hom s 2). α-NAC has been shown before to induce T-cell proliferation and secretion of IFN-γ. To elucidate the immune modulating functions α-NAC may exert, we analyzed its effects on cytokine transcription and secretion in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), monocytes, and CD4+ T cells. Transcription and secretion of IFN-γ, IL-17, and IL-22 were increased in α-NAC-stimulated PBMCs. As IL-17 was significantly upregulated by α-NAC, we assessed signal transduction in PBMCs and found signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 phosphorylation in α-NAC-stimulated cells. Furthermore, we could show the importance of monocyte activation by α-NAC, as isolated T cells reacted only weakly toward the stimulation. Inhibition of IL-23 p19 led to lower amounts of IL-17 in the PBMC supernatants after α-NAC stimulation. α-NAC stimulation of PBMCs from non-allergic donors resulted in secretion of IL-10, which was greatly reduced in PBMCs from α-NAC-sensitized AD patients. Our findings provide insights into the mechanisms of autoallergy, investigating the interplay of immune cells, signaling events, and cytokines, which are known to be relevant in atopic skin inflammation.
