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

In India, Sorghum plant allergenicity was reported to be approximately 54.9%. Sorghum bicolor Polcalcin (Sorb PC) was identified as the panallergen but the specificity of this allergen is yet to be characterized. The present study was aimed to characterize the antigenic determinants of Sorb PC that are responsible for eliciting the IgE response. In silico modeling, simulation studies and docking of Sorb PC peptides (PC1-11) against IgG and IgE followed by in vivo evaluation was adopted. Peptide docking studies revealed PC 6 with highest G-score -12.85 against IgE followed by PC-11, 5, 1 and 7 (-10.91) peptides. The mice sensitized with PC7 peptide showed interleukin (IL) 4 (IL-4), IL-5, IL-12, TNF-α and GMCSF levels increased when compared with other peptides and controls, signifying a strong T helper type 2 (Th2)-based response. In tandem, the T helper type 1 (Th1) pathway was inhibited by low levels of cytokine IL-2, interferon γ (IFN-γ) and increased IL-10 levels justifying the role of PC7 in allergic IgE response. Considering the above data of overlapping peptides of PC6 and PC7, N-terminal part of the PC7 peptide (DEVQRMM) is found to play a crucial role in Sorghum Polcalcin allergenic response.
