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

purposeThe mechanisms of naso-ocular interaction in allergic rhinoconjunctivitis are not well understood. Neurogenic inflammation affects both eyes and nose via the same neurogenic factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of neurogenic inflammation on conjunctival inflammation following nasal allergen provocation.

methodsSensitized rats were exposed to ovalbumin (OVA) via the nose. Parts of the nasal mucosa and conjunctivae were sliced and used for hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunohistochemical analysis, western blotting, and real-time polymerase chain reaction. The slides were observed under a light microscope, and the acquired images were analyzed. The levels of substance P (SP), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), and nerve growth factor (NGF) were detected.

resultsThe levels of SP, VIP, and NGF were increased in both nasal mucosa and conjunctivae 1 h and 24 h after OVA administration (p < 0.05). Higher levels of SP, VIP, and NGF expression were observed in the nasal mucosa and conjunctivae 24 h after OVA administration (p < 0.05). Following damage of the nasal sensory nerves by capsaicin, the protein and mRNA levels of SP, VIP, and NGF were reduced.

conclusionIn conclusion, the increased levels of VIP, SP, and NGF might be responsible for the ocular reaction following nasal challenge with allergen in rats.
