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 following study was performed to further characterize a primate model of asthma using classes of drugs that target allergy (pyrilamine, cetirizine), are bronchodilators for the treatment of asthma (salbutamol, salmeterol) or are anti-inflammatory (dexamethasone). These drugs were examined for their ability to inhibit acute, antigen-induced bronchoconstriction, the development of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and the infiltration of leukocytes into the lungs of atopic cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca facsicularis) using a 10-day, multiple antigen (Ag) challenge protocol. All compounds except dexamethasone and cetirizine significantly (p < 0.05) reduced acute, Ag-induced bronchoconstriction (salbutamol: 74.2%, salmeterol: 52.6%%, pyrilamine: 62.4% inhibition) compared to vehicle control trials. Only dexamethasone and salmeterol prevented the development of AHR to methacholine challenge by 90.4 +/- 6.81% and 85.7 +/- 5.61% respectively. Dexamethasone significantly reduced the Ag-induced increase in BAL eosinophils by 85.9 +/- 8.53%. Cetirizine reduced the eosinophil response in 5 of 6 monkeys and salmeterol demonstrated a trend towards reduced eosinophil increases after multiple Ag challenge, but neither of these were statistically significant. These results further illustrate the utility of this model in predicting compound effects against several relevant functional endpoints that are consistent with the effects of similar classes of compounds in humans.
