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

Severe equine asthma (SEA) is a common, debilitating lower airway inflammatory disorder of older horses. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) survey inhaled particulates from barn sources causing them to switch from an anti-inflammatory to a proinflammatory phenotype, resulting in neutrophil recruitment to the lung. This proinflammatory switch may contribute to the development and prolongation of SEA. Validated antibodies to identify the cells involved in the pathogenesis of SEA are lacking. In this study, monoclonal antibodies against CD90, CD163, and CD206 were tested for reactivity with equine leukocytes by immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry. A multi-color flow cytometric assay was developed to identify leukocytes in equine bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Four control and 4 SEA-susceptible horses had BALF collected before and after a 48-hour moldy hay challenge. Antibodies against CD90 uniquely labeled equine neutrophils, and antibodies against CD163 and CD206 identified equine macrophages. Postchallenge AM surface expression of CD163 increased in both groups of horses, but the increase was statistically significant in only the SEA-susceptible group (
