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

backgroundPhototherapy with narrow-band ultraviolet B (narrow-band UVB) is clinically effective treatment for atopic dermatitis. In the present study, we examined the effects of intranasal irradiation with narrow-band UVB on nasal symptom, upregulation of histamine H

methodsAR model rats were intranasally irradiated with 310 nm of narrow-band UVB. Nasal mucosal levels of H1R mRNA were measured using real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR. DNA damage was evaluated using cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) immunostaining.

resultsIn toluene 2,4-diisocyanate (TDI)-sensitized rats, TDI provoked sneezes and H1R gene expression in the nasal mucosa. Intranasal pre-irradiation with 310 nm narrow-band UVB at doses of 600 and 1400, but not 200 mJ/cm

conclusionsIntranasal pre-irradiation with narrow-band UVB dose-dependently inhibited sneezes and upregulation of H1R gene expression of the nasal mucosa in AR model rats, suggesting that the inhibition of nasal upregulation of H1R gene expression suppressed nasal symptom. The suppression after narrow-band UVB irradiation at a dose of 600 mJ/cm LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: NA.
