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

To elucidate the role of IgE-dependent mechanisms in inducing altered airway responsiveness in the atopic asthmatic state, the expression and actions of Fc receptor activation were examined in isolated rabbit tracheal smooth muscle (TSM) tissue and cultured cells passively sensitized with sera from atopic asthmatic patients or nonatopic/nonasthmatic (control) subjects. Relative to control tissues, the atopic asthmatic-sensitized TSM exhibited significantly increased maximal isometric contractility to acetylcholine (P < 0. 01) and attenuated maximal relaxation responses and sensitivity (i.e.,-log ED50) to isoproterenol (P < 0.005). These changes in agonist responsiveness in atopic sensitized TSM were ablated by pretreating the tissues with a blocking mAb to the low affinity receptor for IgE, FcepsilonRII (i.e., CD23) or by depleting the sensitizing serum of its immune complexes. Moreover, in complimentary experiments, exogenous administration of IgE immune complexes to naive TSM produced changes in agonist responsiveness that were qualitatively similar to those obtained in the atopic asthmatic-sensitized state. Extended studies further demonstrated that, in contrast to their respective controls, atopic asthmatic serum-sensitized human and rabbit TSM tissue and cultured cells exhibited markedly induced mRNA and cell surface expression of FcepsilonRII, whereas constitutive expression of the IgG receptor subtype, FcgammaRIII, was unaltered. Finally, the up-regulated mRNA expression of FcepsilonRII observed following exposure of TSM to atopic asthmatic serum or to exogenously administered IgE immune complexes was significantly inhibited by pretreating the tissues or cells with anti-CD23 mAb. Collectively, these observations provide evidence demonstrating that the altered agonist responsiveness in atopic asthmatic sensitized airway smooth muscle is largely attributed to IgE-mediated induction of the autologous expression and activation of FcepsilonRII receptors in the airway smooth muscle itself.
