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

Non-Type 2 (non-T2) asthma is characterized by a lack of allergic sensitization and normal to low total IgE levels. We aimed to explore molecular mechanisms and pathways differentiating non-T2 from T2-high pediatric asthma. We analyzed peripheral blood RNA samples from 11 non-T2 and 17 T2-high pediatric asthma patients using bulk RNA sequencing. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, followed by Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses, and Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network construction. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) were employed to explore significance of these DEGs. We utilized independent public datasets GSE145505 to validate our findings. We investigated Th cytokine profiles in an independent cohort of pediatric patients with non-T2 asthma (n = 38) and T2-high asthma (n = 64). We demonstrated that the total serum IgE levels of children with non-T2 asthma (128.4 ± 159.5 IU/mL) was significantly lower than that of those with T2-high asthma (405.8 ± 252.1 IU/mL). Our analysis revealed 136 DEGs distinguishing non-T2 from T2-high asthma. IPA identified predicted inhibition of IgE-FcεRI signaling pathways in non-T2 asthma. Our DEG data showed the expression of IGHV4-39, IGLV1-40, IGLV1-47, IGLV1-44, IGHV1-69, IGLV6-57, IGLV3-19, IGLV3-1, and IGLC7 were downregulated in our non-T2 asthma patient. The non-T2 group exhibited significantly higher concentrations of IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-6, and IL-17A compared to the T2-high group. Our integrated analysis differentiated non-T2 from T2-high asthma by revealing downregulation of specific immunoglobulin genes influencing FcεRI signaling, elevated Th1 cytokines and Th17 cytokines might affect IgE associated sensitization and alter Th2 allergic response.
