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

purpose of reviewAtopy is defined as the genetic predisposition to react with type I allergic diseases such as food-, skin-, and respiratory allergies. Distinct molecular mechanisms have been described, including the known Th2 driven immune response. IL-17A (IL-17) is mainly produced by Th17 cells and belongs to the IL-17 family of cytokines, IL-17A to F. While IL-17 plays a major role in inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, more data was published in recent years elucidating the role of IL-17 in allergic diseases. The present study aimed to elaborate specifically the role of IL-17 in atopy.

methodsA systematic literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, regarding IL-17 and atopy/allergic diseases.

resultsIn total, 31 novel publications could be identified (food allergy SUMMARY: The role of IL 17 in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases is evident, but the involvement of the Th17 cytokine in the pathophysiological pathway is not conclusively defined. IL-17 is most likely relevant and will be a clinical target in subgroups of patients. The current data indicates that IL-17 is elevated more often in acute and severe forms of allergic diseases.
