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

introductionThe pathogenesis of asthma remains unclear, especially in cases of the severe disease.

aimTo explore IgE-mediated inhalant sensitization in severe asthma compared with a group of patients with chronic mild disease and evaluate the Th1/Th2 cytokine profiles in asthma by different disease severities. MATERIAL AND

methodsOne hundred and fifty-four patients (age range: 28-69) with severe chronic asthma (study group) and 141 patients with chronic mild disease (control group) diagnosed according to GINA criteria were included in the study. Seventy-eight severe asthmatics and 43 subjects with mild disease were randomly selected for serum Th1/Th2 cytokine level estimation. The groups were matched in terms of age and atopy features (skin prick tests, specific and total serum IgE).

resultsPositive skin tests to at least one allergen were observed with comparable frequencies. Sensitization to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus was the most prevalent positive result in both groups. An earlier onset of asthma together with a greater number of exacerbations was noted in severe asthmatics compared to patients with mild disease. Serum levels of interleukin 4 and 2 (IL-4 and IL-2) were detectable only in severe asthmatics irrespective of atopy features. The levels of interferon γ and tumour necrosis factor α were undetectable in both groups. IL-10 and IL-5 were detected in the serum of only 7 and 12 severe asthmatics, respectively.

conclusionsThe serum level of IL-2 and IL-4 could be perceived as a marker of severe asthma. Neither IL-2 nor IL-4 levels in the serum could differentiate allergic and non-allergic asthma.
