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

Interleukin- 33 (IL-33) is an epithelial-derived cytokine that initiates type 2 immune responses to allergens, though whether IL-33 has the ability to modify responses to respiratory viral infections remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of IL-33 on rhinovirus (RV)-induced immune responses by circulating leukocytes from people with allergic asthma, and how this response may differ from non-allergic controls. Our experimental approach involved co-exposing peripheral blood mononuclear cells to IL-33 and RV in order to model how the functions of virus-responsive lymphocytes could be modified after recruitment to an airway environment enriched in IL-33. In the current study, IL-33 enhanced RV-induced IL-5 and IL-13 release by cells from people with allergic asthma, but had no effect on IL-5 and IL-13 production by cells from healthy donors. In asthmatic individuals, IL-33 also enhanced mRNA and surface protein expression of ST2 (the IL-33 receptor IL1RL1), while soluble ST2 concentrations were low. In contrast, IL-33 had no effect on mRNA and surface expression of ST2 in healthy individuals. In people with allergic asthma, RV-activated ST2
