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

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) serves a crucial role in the pathogenesis of several allergic disorders, and elevated levels of total serum IgE have been associated with asthma. IgE is responsible for the release of several asthma-associated inflammatory mediators from mast cells, such as histamine and prostaglandins. The aim of the present study was to assess the association of interleukin (IL)-13 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs20541 and forkhead box O3a (FOXO3a) SNP rs13217795 with IgE levels in asthmatic patients and a healthy control group. Genetic polymorphism analysis of SNPs was performed using PCR/restriction fragment length polymorphism. Total serum IgE levels were measured using an ELISA kit. Genotypes were grouped into three models: Co-dominant, dominant and recessive. Major and minor alleles for IL-13 SNP rs20541 and FOXO3a SNP rs13217795 were C and T, whereas for IL-13, they were G and A, respectively. There was a significant association between the IL-13 rs20541 SNP and the total IgE serum levels, in which pure minor alleles were associated with a significant reduction (~5x lower) in IgE serum levels compared with the major alleles in asthmatic subjects and to a lesser extent in the control subjects. Additionally, the FOXO3a rs13217795 SNP was associated with a significant increase in total IgE levels (~5x higher) in the asthmatic patients compared with the control subjects. In conclusion, the present study confirmed that there was a significant association between the IL-13 SNP rs20541 and asthma, and an association between the FOXO3a SNP rs13217795 with asthma pathogenicity in Jordanian subjects.
