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

Alteration of the careful balance of the ratio of Th1/Th2 cell subsets impacts immune function and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma. There is little research on the impact of changes on the balance of the regulatory T (Treg)/Th17 subset ratio and its possible repercussions for asthma. This investigation used a murine model of asthma to measure the expression levels of Treg and Th17 cells and the levels of their transcription factors Foxp3 and retinoic acid receptor-related orphan nuclear receptor (ROR)γt in bronchial asthma while assessing indexes of airway inflammation. Thirty female SPF BALB/c mice were divided into three equally numbered groups: a normal control, an asthma and a dexamethasone treatment group. All the airway inflammation indexes measured were more prominent in the asthma group and less so in the control group. The percentage of the lymphocyte subset CD4
