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

Allergic diseases have become a major health problem, partly due to reduced microbial stimulation and a decreased dietary ω-3/ω-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid ratio. Prenatal exposures have been reported to influence allergy development, possibly induced via changes in maternal immune regulation. In a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled multicenter allergy prevention trial (PROOM-3), pregnant women were recruited at gestational week 20, and randomized to four study groups, one receiving both L. reuteri oil drops and ω-3 PUFA capsules (n = 22), the second receiving ω-3 PUFA supplementation and placebo regarding L. reuteri (n = 21), the third receiving L. reuteri and placebo regarding ω-3 PUFA (n = 22) and the fourth group receiving placebo capsules and placebo oil drops (n = 23). In this substudy, supplemental and pregnancy-related effects on maternal peripheral immune cell populations during pregnancy were assessed by flow cytometry immune phenotyping at gestational week 20, 32 and 4 days after delivery. The numbers of activated and regulatory T (Treg) cells (CD45RA
