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 regulation of CD23 expression (Fc epsilon RII) by cytokines on monocytes from normal subjects, asymptomatic and acute asthmatics was investigated. CD23 was weakly expressed on cells from controls, but was significantly enhanced in the two groups of asthmatics. The addition of IL-4 on monocytes induced an increase of CD23 expression in cells from controls and asthmatics. Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) did not modulate CD23 expression in asthmatics or control subjects, while high doses of IL-6 (2000 U/ml) enhanced CD23 expression on cells from asthmatics or controls. In vitro stimulation of monocytes with Timothy grass pollen allergen did not enhance CD23 receptor in asthmatics with a positive skin test to this pollen. We speculate that CD23 expression in asthmatics is markedly enhanced by Th2-dependent cytokines, such as IL-4 and IL-6. Thus, the regulation of Th2 cell activation by anti-cytokine therapy could have an important effect on the down-regulation of CD23 on monocytes, and in shifting a Th2 subpopulation into a Th1 subpopulation by blocking Th2-dependent cytokines.
