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

Dietary allergens can affect mood and cognition in some sensitized individuals without eliciting immediate or severe physical reactions. However, if these "subclinically sensitized," allergen-tolerant individuals continue to consume offending allergens, they may be at a greater risk of chronic peripheral inflammation that affects brain function and behavior via neuroinflammation. To elucidate potential mechanisms by which immune responses to consumed allergens are communicated to the central nervous system (CNS), we investigated the accumulation of leukocytes in the brain and the trafficking of peripheral leukocytes to the CNS in our mouse model of subclinical cow's milk allergy (CMA). Male and female C57BL/6J mice were sensitized to a bovine β-lactoglobulin (BLG, Bos d 5) or the vehicle alone and subsequently placed on an allergen-containing diet for 2 weeks. The activity and cognitive function of the mice were assessed by a series of behavioral tests, and the number and phenotypes of the leukocytes in the brain were determined by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. The frequencies of CXCR5
