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: The association between serum soluble apoptotic markers, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), and inflammatory parameters in allergic diseases has seldom been studied. This study aimed to investigate apoptotic activity in allergic diseases and its relationship with ECP, systemic inflammation, and severity of atopic sensitisation. Material and methods: A total of 125 patients with allergic diseases were investigated by measuring ECP, APO-1, tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE), total IgE (tIgE), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels. Results: ECP, APO-1, TRAIL, and hsCRP levels were significantly higher in patients with allergic diseases than in healthy individuals. Patients who tested positive for ECP had no significant differences in APO-1 and TRAIL levels compared with those who tested negative for ECP. However, among the patients who tested positive for ECP, those with elevated hsCRP concentrations had significantly higher APO-1 and TRAIL levels than those without elevated hsCRP concentrations ( Conclusions: Apoptotic activity is enhanced in allergic diseases and is more closely linked to concomitant systemic inflammation than to the severity of atopic sensitisation, particularly in patients with inhalant allergy.
