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

Upon allergen challenge, DC subsets are recruited to target sites under the influence of chemotactic agents; however, details pertinent to their trafficking remain largely unknown. We investigated the kinetic profiles of blood and skin-infiltrating DC subsets in twelve atopic subjects receiving six weekly intradermal allergen and diluent injections. The role of activin-A, a cytokine induced in allergic and tissue repair processes, on the chemotactic profiles of DC subsets was also examined. Plasmacytoid (pDCs) and conventional DCs (cDCs) were evaluated at various time-points in the blood and skin. In situ activin-A expression was assessed in the skin and its effects on chemokine receptor expression of isolated cDCs were investigated. Blood pDCs were reduced 1 h after challenge, while cDCs decreased gradually within 24 h. Skin cDCs increased significantly 24 h after the first challenge, inversely correlating with blood cDCs. Activin-A in the skin increased 24 h after the first allergen challenge and correlated with infiltrating cDCs. Activin-A increased the CCR10/CCR4 expression ratio in cultured human cDCs. DC subsets demonstrate distinct kinetic profiles in the blood and skin especially during acute allergic inflammation, pointing to disparate roles depending on each phase of the inflammatory response. The effects of activin-A on modulating the chemotactic profile of cDCs suggest it may be a plausible therapeutic target for allergic diseases.
