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

introductionAsymptomatic sensitization is defined as the presence of positive skin prick test (SPT) and/or positive serum allergen-specific IgE in the absence of clinical allergic symptoms. Currently, there is no convincing explanation why some people with positive allergen tests do not show symptoms. We aimed to investigate the house dust mite (HDM)-specific IgE and IgG4 repertoire in asymptomatic HDM-sensitized subjects and HDM-induced allergic rhinitis (AR) patients.

methodsA total of 48 subjects sensitized to HDM were included in this study: 27 had AR with/without asthma (symptomatic group), and 21 had no allergic symptoms (asymptomatic group). Six healthy individuals served as control group. Peripheral blood samples were collected for serum IgE and IgG4 assay and basophil activation tests (BATs). IgE and IgG4 assay included antibodies to Dermatophagoides (Der) p1, 2, 7, 10, 21, 23, and Der f1, 2.

resultsAR patients had a larger wheal diameter of SPT (7.0 vs. 3.0 mm, p < 0.0001) and a higher specific IgE to Der p (15.50 vs. 0.70 KU/L, p < 0.0001) than asymptomatic subjects. They also showed more frequent sensitization to Der p1 and Der p2 (both p < 0.05). However, the total IgE and specific IgG4 did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. The basophil activation response after being stimulated with HDM was observed to be higher in AR patients (all p < 0.05).

conclusionsThere are differences in SPT, serum-specific IgE to Der p, component allergen Der p1 and Der p2 level and BAT between AR patients and asymptomatic subjects sensitized to HDM. IgG4 alone cannot differentiate asymptomatic individuals from AR patients.
