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

introductionAllergic rhinosinusitis (AR) is a clinical manifestation of a type 1 hypersensitive reaction. A complex of reactions involving components of the immune system - cells, mediators, cytokines, neuropeptides, adhesion molecules etc., are involved in the manifestation of the disease symptoms.

aimTo evaluate the role of some serum and local cytokines and IgE molecules in the pathogenesis of AR comparing results in patients and healthy controls. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe study was conducted at the Prof. Dr. St. Kirkovich University Hospital and Medical University, Stara Zagora, Bulgaria.

resultsA trend towards higher serum levels in patients with AR compared to controls was found for IL-4, but with no significant difference. In the group of AR patients, those with the intermittent form had higher, although with no significance, interleukin 4 (IL-4) levels in the lavage compared to those with the persistent form. In nasal lavage fluids a tendency towards higher IL-5 levels was found in intermittent AR patients compared to those with persistent AR. A slight trend towards significantly higher serum levels of IL-13 in overweight patients compared to those with normal weight was found.

conclusionsRegardless of the obvious differences of the concentrations of the cytokines studied in our groups, oftentimes no significant difference is observed. More studies should be conducted in order to show the role of IL-4, -5, -13, and IgE in the pathogenesis and severity of the disease.
