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

IgA protects the body from invaders in the mucosal sites, but its role in allergic diseases, such as hay fever, is poorly understood. We demonstrate an increased susceptibility to cedar-pollen-induced hay fever associated with increasing pollen penetration into the body in IgA-deficient mice, indicating that IgA prevents pollen invasion in the mucosa. We identified bryostatin 1, an anticarcinogenic protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ) activator, as an IgA/IgE class-switching regulator in B cells. Bryostatin 1 enhanced IgA production through induction of germline transcript α (GLTα) via the PKCδ/MEK/ERK/RUNX1 pathway and suppressed IgE by reducing GLTε through the PKCδ/STAT5/ID2 pathway. Production of Th2 cytokines and eosinophil infiltration in the lungs was also reduced. Furthermore, hay fever alleviation by bryostatin 1 demonstrated diminished symptoms in mice in vivo 3 months subsequent to intranasal administration.
