Changes in type 2 innate lymphoid cells and serum cytokines in sublingual immunotherapy in pediatric patients with allergic rhinitis.
Trial report in BMC pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundType 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are upregulated in childhood allergic rhinitis (AR) and are associated with AR severity. This study aimed to investigate changes in the ILC2 milieu in pediatric patients with AR after sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT).
methodsForty- pediatric patients with AR received house dust mite (HDM) allergen extract for SLIT group and thirty pediatric patients received placebo in the study, respectively. The levels of ILC2, ILC2-related cytokines (IL-5/IL-13) and their transcription factors (GATA binding protein 3, retinoic acid-related orphan receptor α) in the circulation were assessed after 1- and 2-year SLIT. Moreover, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in patients were prepared and stimulated by recombinant thymic stromal lymphopoietin, IL-25, and IL-33 after 2-year SLIT. Subsequently, the levels of ILC2, IL-5, and IL-13 were tested.
resultsThe frequency of ILC2 and the levels of their transcription factors in the circulation were significantly decreased after SLIT in the SLIT group. The levels of ILC2-related cytokines in the SLIT group showed the same trend. The frequency of ILC2 was positively correlated with transcription factors and cytokines after SLIT. SLIT was observed to reduce the ability of HDM sensitization to generate the ILC2 milieu in PBMCs.
conclusionsChanges in the ILC2 milieu may be correlated with the curative effect and immune regulation function of SLIT. Our results suggested that the regulatory effect on ILC2 is part of the therapeutic mechanism of SLIT.
