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

The signaling cascades triggered by the cross-linkage of immunoglobulin E (IgE) with its high-affinity receptor (FcεRI) on mast cells contribute to multiple allergic disorders, such as asthma, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis. Restraint of intracellular signals for mast cell activation is essential to restore homeostasis. In this study, we found that Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) negatively regulated mast cell activation. RKIP-deficient mast cells showed greater IgE-FcεRI-mediated activation than wild-type mast cells. Consistently, RKIP deficiency in mast cells rendered mice more sensitive to IgE-FcεRI-mediated allergic responses and ovalbumin-induced airway inflammation. Mechanistically, RKIP interacts with the p85 subunit of PI3K, prevents it from binding to GRB2-associated binding protein 2 (Gab2), and eventually inhibits the activation of the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB complex and its downstream signaling. Furthermore, the expression of RKIP was significantly down-regulated in the peripheral blood of asthma patients and in the IgE-FcεRI-stimulated mast cells. Collectively, our findings not only suggest that RKIP plays an important role in controlling mast cell-mediated allergic responses but also provide insight into therapeutic targets for mast cell-related allergic diseases.
