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 progression of allergic diseases from atopic dermatitis in childhood to other allergic conditions such as asthma in later life is often referred to as the atopic march. In order to study the relationship between cutaneous sensitization by aeroallergen and atopic march, we established a mouse model to test the hypothesis using American cockroaches and house dust mites as the model allergens. Mice were sensitized via skin with native cockroach extract (CraA) or recombinant Per a 2 and Der p 2 proteins without adjuvant. Each mouse was subjected to a total of three 1-week patching sensitizations with a 2-week interval in between each application. The resulting immunological variables in sera, scratching behavior, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), and pathology of skin lesions and nasal mucosa were evaluated. In mice, application of CraA, rPer a 2, and rDer p 2 aeroallergens through skin patching induced significantly high levels of both total IgE and specific IgEs. The epicutaneous sensitization after a subsequent allergen challenge showed a significant increase in scratch bouts, AHR, epidermal thickness, and eosinophil counts in the skin compared with the control mice. In addition, stimulation of murine splenocytes with allergens increased higher levels of Th2 cytokines, anti-inflammatory cytokines, and chemokines excretion. Our study provides evidence supporting that epicutaneous sensitization to aeroallergens also led to nasal and airway symptoms comparable to atopic march as described in humans. We hope this new allergy model will be useful in the development of new preventive and therapeutic strategies aimed at stopping the atopic march.
