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

The genetic control of eosinophilia has been studied in congenic strains of mice. Eosinophilia was induced with cyclophosphamide followed by keyhole limpet hemocyanin in complete Freund's adjuvant. After this treatment, BALB/c mice developed a high eosinophil response, whereas CBA, C57BL and A/J mice developed a low one. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) was found to exert a control on eosinophilia, as B10.D2 mice developed a higher eosinophil response than B10, B10.A, or B10.BR. BALB/c-H-2k mice had a lower response than BALB/c, and A.TL mice had a higher response than A/J or A.TH. If a single gene within the MHC is responsible for these effects, the most likely position for it is in the vicinity of the Tla locus. Splenectomy reduced eosinophilia in BALB/c and A.TL mice, but not in A/J mice, indicating that the spleen is a significant site of eosinophil production in high responder strains.
