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

Nanomaterials have been widely used in a number of applications; however, these nanomaterials may potentially be risky for human health, particularly for the respiratory system. In this study, we used a mouse asthma model to study whether graphene oxide (GO), a promising carbonaceous nanomaterial with unique physicochemical properties, aggravates allergic asthma via the oxidative stress pathway. Mice were sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA) to trigger immune reactions, while vitamin E (Ve) was administered as an antioxidant. Our results showed that GO aggravated OVA-induced allergic asthma in mice, as suggested by increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), elevated total immunoglobulin E (IgE), upregulated Th2 response, and the aggravation of allergic asthma symptoms, such as airway remolding, collagen deposition with mucus hypersecretion, and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). The administration of Ve dramatically attenuated all of the above effects. In conclusion, Ve showed anti-allergic properties in antagonizing the exacerbation of allergic asthma induced by GO, providing a new possibility for the treatment of allergic asthma.
