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

Neutrophilic asthma (NA) is associated with a severe disease course and poor response to corticosteroids. The present study aimed to compare the effects of various concentrations of house dust mite (HDM) allergens, ovalbumin (OVA), the major egg allergen, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in combination on the onset of severe NA. Female C57BL/6 mice were grouped according to a random number table and intranasally sensitized with HDM/LPS/OVA extracts on days 0, 1 and 2 of the study. In group 1, mice received 50 µg HDM + 50 µg OVA + 15 µg LPS, mice in group 2 received 50 µg HDM + 100 µg OVA + 15 µg LPS, mice in group 3 received 100 µg HDM + 50 µg OVA + 15 µg LPS and those in group 4 received 100 µg HDM + 100 µg OVA + 15 µg LPS, while mice in the control group received saline only. The mice were then challenged by OVA solution with atomized excitation on days 14, 15, 18, 19 and 20 for 30 min each. Ethology, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), immune cell distributions in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and specific cytokines interleukin 17A (IL-17A) and IL-4 in serum were assessed. Histological examination of inflammation by hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical assessment of neutrophils (NEU), eosinophils (EOS), IL-17A and IL-4 were also performed. Compared with the control group, the HDM/OVA/LPS-sensitized groups 1-4 had markedly increased BALF cells, serum interleukin IL-17A and IL-4, inflammatory cell infiltration, EOS as well as IL-17A and IL-4 by immunohistochemical staining (all P<0.05). Among the four HDM/OVA/LPS-sensitized groups, mice of group 4 had higher AHR, a significantly higher total cell number, NEU and EOS in BALF as well as significantly higher NEU and NEU/EOS ratios according to immunohistochemical staining when compared to groups 1-3 (P<0.05 for all). In conclusion, sensitization with 100 µg HDM + 100 µg OVA + 15 µg LPS successfully established a severe asthma model with a predominantly neutrophilic inflammatory phenotype.
