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

Treatment of neonatal animals with capsaicin has previously been associated with long-lasting hyperthermia and severe cutaneous lesions. The present study analyzed the effects of capsaicin-induced hyperthermia on the occurrence of infectious disease and pruritic dermatitis in a rat model. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were obtained 1 week prior to parturition. Pups from each litter were randomly assigned to the following experimental groups: Capsaicin-treated (cap-treated; n=10) or vehicle-treated (n=5). Capsaicin (50 mg/kg) or vehicle were systemically administered to the SD rat pups (age, 48 h), after which body temperature was measured using a biotelemetry system, and the effects of hyperthermia on the ability of the rat pups to resist bacterial infection were analyzed. Furthermore, pruritus-induced scratching behavior and dermatitis were assessed, and changes in interleukin (IL)-4- and IL-13-induced immunoglobulin E expression were measured. Treatment of neonatal rats with capsaicin resulted in chronic hyperthermia, which had negative effects on the host immune defense response. The expression levels of T-helper type 2 cell-associated cytokines were significantly increased (P<0.01) in the cap-treated rats following bacterial infection with
