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

Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) is a known inducer of allergic contact dermatitis that is used as a preservative and a biocide in consumer products. Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a non-selective cation channel expressed in neurons and in some nonneuronal cells including keratinocytes. In neurons, TRPA1 mediates itch, pain and neurogenic inflammation. It has also been shown that TRPA1-deficient animals have reduced expression of inflammatory cytokines in experimental models of allergic contact dermatitis. Therefore, we aimed to test the hypothesis that TRPA1 is activated by MIT and mediates MIT-induced inflammatory conditions. In Fluo 3-AM intracellular Ca
