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

This study aimed to investigate the role of interleukin (IL)-25 in the pathogenesis of angiostrongylosis. We used ICR mice as non-permissive hosts, divided them into groups and experimentally infected them with infective larvae of the Angiostrongylus cantonensis. Two groups of infected mice were injected intraperitoneally with either mouse IL-25 or an anti-IL-25 monoclonal antibody (mAb) at 3 days post-infection (dpi), followed by booster injections at the same dose every 5 days. Serum samples and brain tissues were collected weekly from each group for immunological and pathological examinations. The IL-25-treated group exhibited significant increases in eosinophil percentages and levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE), as well as in the levels of IL-5 and IL-13. The severity of eosinophilic meningitis was exacerbated in the IL-25-treated group 21 dpi. These results suggest that IL-25 may enhance eosinophil-associated inflammation in mice infected with A. cantonensis.
