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

Humanized rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) reporter cell lines are increasingly used for the detection of allergen-specific IgE and other purposes, such as the detection of allergens and standardization of allergen preparations. Existing reporter systems have many strengths and advantages but can be expensive or require longer incubation times. The new NPY-mRFP reporter cell line addresses such problems, as it requires neither expensive substrates nor overnight incubation for detection of activation. The fusion of Neuropeptide Y (NPY) with monomeric Red Fluorescent Protein (mRFP) results in localization of the fluorescent protein in granules.  As NPY-mRFP is preformed in granules, the reporter system activation can be assessed using fluorescence measurements after as soon as 45-60 min, as described in this chapter, without the need to add any substrates.
