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

Introduction: We aimed to develop recombinant allergens on the nanoscale by using self-assembly property of ferritin and to investigate their immune response and protective effect. Methods: The cDNA encoding Ftn-Blo t 2 was synthesized and cloned into pET-21a (+) vector, then expressed in Results: The average diameter of rFtn and rFtn-Blo t 2 particles are (11.24 ± 1.31) nm and (16.00 ± 1.59) nm. The IgE- binding rates of rFtn-Blo t 2 and rBlo t 2 were 62.5% (15/24) and 58.3% (12/24), respectively. The expressions of IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP increased by 3.29, 3.43, and 2.22 folds after the addition of rFtn-Blo t 2 in co-culture with BEAS-2B. Mice challenged with rBlo t 2 had lower levels of cytokines IL-13 and IL-4 but higher levels of IFN-γ and TGF-β in alveolar lavage fluid compared to controls (p < 0.05). HE staining showed that compared with rBlo t 2 group, the inflammation level in lung tissue of rFtn-Blo t 2 group was reduced. Discussion: A nano-scale allergen was successfully developed, providing a concept, a platform, and a paradigm for the construction of nano-scale allergens.
