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

Introduction: Gluten allergy is a major public health problem that is growing at an alarming rate. Specific mechanisms underlying sensitization to gluten remain incompletely understood. Currently, it is unclear whether chronic exposure to alcohol-soluble gluten extract via undamaged skin has the capacity to clinically sensitize mice for life-threatening anaphylaxis. Using an adjuvant-free mouse model, here we tested the hypothesis that chronic application of alcohol-soluble durum gluten (ASDG) extract will clinically sensitize mice for life-threatening anaphylaxis. Methods: This study was conducted in a gluten-free Balb/c mouse colony that was established and maintained on a plant protein-free diet. Groups of adult female mice were exposed dermally to ASDG extract or vehicle once a week for 9-weeks. Specific ( Results: We found that chronic exposure to ASDG elicited robust elevation of sIgE and tIgE. Systemic challenge with ASDG, but not vehicle, elicited life-threatening anaphylaxis associated with dramatic HSR and MMCR. Correlation analysis demonstrated direct positive inter-relationships among IgE, HSR, and MMCR. Anaphylaxis was associated with significant elevation of prototypic Th2 but not Th1 immune markers in the spleen. Discussion/Conclusion: Our study collectively demonstrates that ASDG is intrinsically allergenic; and chronic exposure to ASDG via undamaged skin can clinically sensitize mice for life-threatening anaphylaxis via activating the systemic Th2 immune responses.
