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

backgroundIgG can mediate murine and human systemic anaphylaxis (SA). The roles of mast cells (MCs) and histamine in IgG-mediated anaphylaxis are controversial for mice and have not been studied in vivo for humans. We are now investigating these issues.

methodsActively or passively sensitized wild-type and immune-deficient mice were induced to develop anaphylaxis by intravenous antigen challenge. Anaphylaxis was characterized by evaluating hypothermia, hypomobility, histamine, and MC protease responses.

resultsIn contrast to our previous results with protein-immunized mice from a conventional colony, IgG-mediated passive SA in our specific pathogen-free colony mice depended considerably on histamine produced by connective tissue MCs (CTMCs) in response to FcγRIII crosslinking. This was found for C57BL/6 and young male and female BALB/c mice, including BALB/c mice newly arrived from 3 vendors. IgG-mediated anaphylaxis was less histamine dependent in old than young mice. Although both mucosal MC (MMC) and CTMC responses were severely depleted in c-kit-deficient mice, MMC responses depended considerably more than CTMC responses on c-kit for maintenance. In immunologically naive mice, FcγRIII crosslinking strongly activated a subset of CTMCs but had little ability to activate MMCs. In vivo LPS + poly I:C treatment decreased histamine dependence of IgG-mediated anaphylaxis, while a strong T

conclusionIgG-dependent SA can be mediated largely by histamine released by mouse CTMCs and human MCs; histamine dependence is influenced by mouse age, sex, and immune and infectious history, as well as the anaphylaxis model studied.
