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

backgroundGroup 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are regarded as a novel population of lineage-negative cells that induce innate Type 2 responses by producing the critical Th2-type cytokines interleukin (IL)-5 and IL-13. ILC2s as key players in the development of allergic rhinitis (AR) have been proved, however, the effect of subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) with dermatophagoides pteronyssinus extract (Der p-SCIT) on ILC2s in AR patients is not clear. This study aimed to investigate the response of ILC2s of peripheral blood in house dust mites (HDM)-sensitized Chinese patients with AR who received SCIT with Der P extract.

methodsSeven healthy controls without symptoms of AR who had negative reactions to any of the allergens from skin-prick testing, nine patients diagnosed with persistent AR according to the Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) guidelines, and 24 AR patients who received Der p-SCIT for 1.0-3.5 years were recruited for the study. ILC2s in the peripheral blood were evaluated using flow cytometry. The severity of their symptoms of all participants was rated based on the Total 5 symptom score.

resultsAmong 40 participants, 9 AR patients were assigned to the untreated group, 24 AR patients receiving Der p-SCIT were assigned to the immunotherapy group, and 7 healthy controls without symptoms of AR were assigned to healthy control group. The mean Total 5 symptom score of immunotherapy group was significantly lower than that of untreated group (4.3 ± 1.4 vs. 10.1 ± 2.5, P< 0.001). Similarly, the levels of ILC2s in the peripheral blood of immunotherapy group were significantly reduced compared with that in untreated group (P < 0.001), but were not significantly different from healthy controls (P = 0.775). Further subgroup analysis based on the duration of SCIT therapy (1.0-2.0 years [SCIT1-2], 2.0-3.0 years [SCIT2-3], and 3.0-3.5 years [SCIT3-3.5]) showed that the percentage of ILC2s was not significantly different between SCIT1-2, SCIT2-3, and SCIT3-3.5groups (SCIT1-2 vs. SCIT2-3: P = 0.268; SCIT1-2vs. SCIT3-3.5: P = 0.635; and SCIT2-3 vs. SCIT3-3.5: P = 0.787).

conclusionsThe present study highlighted the suppression of Der p-SCIT on ILC2s in HDM-AR patients. ILC2s identified in peripheral blood can be used as an effective biomarker for Der p-SCIT.
