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

We found that strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) extract has an IgE production suppressive activity and its oral administration improved skin manifestation in atopic dermatitis model mice. In present study, we identified an active substance using the IgE-producing human myeloma cell line U266. Gel filtration experiment indicated that the IgE suppressor was more than 6 kDa in molecular size. In addition, its pectinase treatment inhibited the activity, suggesting that the active substance in strawberry extract is pectin. Among solutions of water-(WP), hexametaphosphate-(HXP), acid-(HP) and alkali soluble pectin (OHP) extracted from strawberry, only OHP suppressed IgE production, and their suppressive activity was cancelled by pectinase treatment. In addition, OHP extracted from apple also inhibited IgE production. Furthermore, OHP also suppressed IgE production and did not affect IgG and IgM production in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in an in vitro immunization condition. From these results, we concluded that OHP was an IgE suppressor in strawberry extract.
