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 present study investigated the underlying mechanisms and effects of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on a mouse model of allergic rhinitis (AR). An ovalbumin (OVA)-induced mouse model of AR was treated with TLR4-short hairpin RNA (shRNA). Allergic symptoms were then subsequently assessed. Protein levels of OVA-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE), eosinophil cation protein (ECP), leukotriene C4 (LTC4) and prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) in mice serum and nasal lavage fluid, as well as various inflammatory cytokine mediators in mice serum, were determined by ELISA. Protein level detection was performed using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blot analysis. The results revealed that TLR4 was highly expressed in the nasal mucosa of AR mice. TLR4 inhibition significantly relieved OVA-induced AR symptoms. Relief of symptoms was evidenced by a decreased frequency of sneezing and nose friction, reduced levels of OVA-specific IgE, ECP, LTC4, PGD2, less inflammatory cells and decreased levels of T-helper 2 type cytokines. In addition, the data indicated that OVA-induced activation of the NF-κB pathway was repressed by TLR4-shRNA. The results of the current study indicate that TLR4 may be a promising therapeutic target of AR.
