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

backgroundThymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelial-derived cytokine important in initiation of allergic inflammation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TSLP are associated with asthma, yet studies have shown inconsistent associations between circulating TSLP and asthma. Studies that integrate the combined effects of TSLP genotype, TSLP mRNA, circulating TSLP levels, and asthma outcome are lacking.

objectivesThis study sought to recruit a novel cohort based on asthma-relevant TSLP SNPs and determine their impact on TSLP mRNA expression and TSLP circulating protein levels, and their individual and combined effects on asthma.

methodsThis study developed an algorithm to prioritize TSLP SNPs and recruited 51 carriers and noncarriers based on TSLP genotypes. TSLP mRNA was quantified in nasal epithelial cells and circulating TSLP levels in plasma. This study determined the associations of defined TSLP risk genotypes and/or TSLP mRNA and protein levels with asthma.

resultsTSLP mRNA expression, but not circulating TSLP, was significantly increased in people who are asthmatic compared with in people who are nonasthmatic (P = .007; odds ratio, 1.44). Notably, 90% of children with the defined TSLP risk genotypes and high nasal TSLP mRNA expression (top tertile) had asthma compared with 40% of subjects without risk genotypes and with low TSLP expression (bottom tertile) (P = .024). No association between circulating TSLP and asthma was observed.

conclusionsCollectively, these data suggest childhood asthma is modified by the combined effects of TSLP genotype and TSLP expression in the nasal epithelium. The increased asthma risk likely manifests when genetic variation enables expression quantitative trait loci in the TSLP locus to elevate TSLP. It is important to consider both biomarkers when factoring asthma risk.
