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 cockroach allergen Bla g 1 encloses an exceptionally large hydrophobic cavity, which allows it to bind and deliver unsaturated fatty acid ligands. Bla g 1-mediated delivery of naturally occurring (nMix) ligands has been shown to destabilize lipid membranes, contributing to its digestive/antiviral functions within the source organism. However, the consequences of this activity on Bla g 1 allergenicity following human exposure remain unknown. In this work, we show that Bla g 1-mediated membrane disruption can induce a proinflammatory immune response in mammalian cells via two complementary pathways. At high concentrations, the cytotoxic activity of Bla g 1 induces the release of proinflammatory cytosolic contents including damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) such as heat-shock Protein-70 (HSP70) and the cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1β). Sublytic concentrations of Bla g 1 enhanced the ability of phospholipase A2 (PLA
