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

Purpose: Two distinct blood eosinophil subtypes have recently been described as inflammatory-like (iEOS-like) and resident-like (rEOS-like) eosinophils. Eosinophilopoietins - interleukin (IL)-3, IL-5, and GM-CSF, as well as C-C chemokines - CCL11, CCL24, and CCL26 (eotaxin-1, 2, 3), CCL5 (RANTES), are key regulators of eosinophil activity. However, our understanding of the effects of these cytokines on blood eosinophil subtype chemotaxis, adhesion, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in asthma is limited. Patients and Methods: The study enrolled 13 patients with non-severe allergic asthma (AA), 12 patients with severe eosinophilic asthma (SEA), and 10 healthy subjects (HS). Additionally, AA patients underwent bronchial allergen challenge with Results: In all groups, IL-3, IL-5, and GM-CSF enhanced iEOS-like cells' chemotaxis, ROS production, and adhesion to ASMC, with no impact on rEOS-like cell chemotaxis, and only GM-CSF promoted rEOS-like cell adhesion. SEA patients' rEOS-like cells' ROS production following activation with eosinophilopoietins was higher compared to the AA group. Allergen-activated AA patients' blood eosinophil subtypes' ROS production was further upregulated by IL-3, IL-5, and GM-CSF, Conclusion: Eosinophilopoietins and C-C chemokines increase chemotaxis, adhesion, and ROS production of blood eosinophil subtypes, notably in asthma patients. GM-CSF and CCL26 are the most potent promoters of eosinophil chemotaxis and adhesion, particularly of iEOS-like cells.
