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

backgroundManganese chloride (MnCl2) 2.5% is included in the extended metals patch test series to evaluate patients for contact hypersensitivity to this metal salt.

objectivesThe objective of this study was to prospectively determine the rate of allergic and irritant patch test reactions to MnCl2 (Mn(II)), Mn2O3 (Mn(III)), and KMnO4 (Mn(VII)) in a cohort of patients undergoing patch testing.

methodsFifty-eight patients were patch tested with MnCl2, Mn2O3, and KMnO4, each at 2.5% in petrolatum. Patch readings were taken at 48, and 72 or 96 hours, and scored using standard methods. Cultured monolayers of keratinocytes (KCs) were exposed to MnCl2, Mn2O3, and KMnO4 in aqueous culture medium, and cell survival and cytokine release were studied.

conclusionsMnCl2 caused irritant patch test reactions in 41% of the cohort, whereas Mn2O3 and KMnO4 caused a significantly lower rate of irritant reactions (both 3%). No allergic morphologies were observed. Similarly, in cultured KC monolayers, only MnCl2 was cytotoxic to KC and induced tumor necrosis factor α release.The oxidation state of manganese used for patch testing affects the irritancy of this metal salt, as Mn(II) caused an unacceptably high rate of irritant reactions in a cohort of patients. In vitro studies confirmed these clinical data, as only Mn(II) was cytotoxic to cultured monolayers of KC.
