Review in European journal of clinical pharmacology, 1993. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 49 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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

Glucocorticoids (GC) exert a variety of important anti-inflammatory actions. We have studied their effects in allergic inflammation and believe that their anti-allergic effects reflect their anti-inflammatory activities in general. These effects include inhibition of cytokine and other mediator secretion, inhibition of leucocyte priming in eosinophils and neutrophils, reduction of vascular permeability, inhibition of arachidonic acid metabolite and platelet activating factor (PAF) release, synergistic or permissive effects on responses to other mediators, such as catecholamines and other endogenous hormone-like molecules, and modulation of enzyme systems involved in inflammation. Glucocorticoid actions are thus multifaceted; this feature explains both their unequalled efficacy in inflammatory diseases and the difficulty in replacing them with other medications that have a uni-dimensional profile of action.
