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

The present study aims to investigate the effect of immunotherapy in a mouse model of allergic rhinitis (AR) and to explore the possible molecular mechanisms of action. An animal model of AR was established by sensitization and challenge of BALB/c mice with house dust mite (HDM) extract. The mice were injected subcutaneously with HDM for immunotherapy. AR nasal symptoms were evaluated according to the frequencies of nose rubbing and sneezing and the degree of rhinorrhea. The nasal mucosa and lung tissue architecture and inflammatory status by histological analysis; the infiltration of eosinophils in nasal lavage fluid (NALF) of mice was observed by Diff-Quik stain; ELISA-based quantification of serum HDM-specific IgE and TH1/TH2 cytokine concentration; and flow cytometry detected the number of serum CD4+/CD8+ cells to evaluate the mechanism of immunotherapy. It was found that after immunotherapy, the AR symptom score was reduced, the number of eosinophils in NALF was reduced, and the infiltration of inflammatory cells and tissue damage in the nasal mucosa and lung tissue were alleviated. Immunotherapy can increase the number of CD4+ T cells in the peripheral blood, increase the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ cells, increase the expression of Th1 cytokines such as IL-2 and IFN-γ, reduce the expression of Th2 cytokines such as IL-4 and IL-5. The results showed that repeated intraperitoneal injection of crude extract of HDM for sensitization, followed by nasal drops can effectively construct a mouse model of AR, and subcutaneous injection of immunotherapy in mice can reduce allergic inflammation in model mice and improve the inflammatory infiltration of the nasal cavity in allergic rhinitis. Immunotherapy can reduce the expression of inflammatory factors in AR, improve Th1/Th2 balance, and may play a role in the treatment of AR by improving the function of immune cells.
