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

backgroundThe global burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCD) has seen a strong increase in recent decades and attributable to the influence of environmental factors. For a multitude of diseases an association with epithelial barrier damage has been reported.

objectiveThis article provides an overview of the health effects of environmental pollution in the context of the epithelial barrier hypothesis of Cezmi Akdis. Additionally, exemplary mechanisms of a barrier damage are described. Finally, possible preventive and therapeutic consequences are discussed. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe PubMed database was searched for the relevant topics and selected literature was reviewed.

resultsA wide variety of substances can damage the epithelial barriers of the skin, lungs and gastrointestinal tract. The rise in the prevalences of atopic diseases could (partly) be due to an increased exposure to barrier-damaging substances, such as particulate matter and laundry detergents. A possible pathogenetic mechanism is the initiation and maintenance of an immune response by subepithelial penetration of microorganisms through damaged epithelia.

conclusionBased on the epithelial barrier hypothesis new therapeutic and prevention strategies can be developed. The regulation of hazardous chemicals and the fight against environmental pollution and climate change are necessary to reduce the burden of disease.
