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

aimTo evaluate the early expression of mannose-binding lectin 2 (MBL2) in human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) infected by Aspergillus fumigatus (AF).

methodsHCECs cultured in vitro with AF antigens and sampled at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8h. The expression of MBL2 mRNA was evaluated by semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The expression of MBL2 protein in supernatant fluid was shown by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). MBL2 protein in HCECs was detected by immunocytochemistry at 0 and 24h.

resultsMBL2 mRNA and protein are expressed in normal HCECs. The expression of MBL2 mRNA and protein in supernatant fluid begin to increase after being stimulated with AF antigens. The most significantly peak of MBL2 mRNA is in 2h. The protein of MBL2 in supernatant fluid decrease gradually after 0.5h. The protein in HCECs expression increase after stimulation of 24h.

conclusionMBL2 receptor expressed in normal HCECs in vitro. The stimulation by AF antigens can increase the early expression of it.
