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

Our knowledge on the variability of FCER1A gene encoding for alpha-subunit of the high-affinity immunoglobulin E receptor (FcepsilonRI) that plays a central role in the pathogenesis of allergy and related disorders, has been recently much extended. Last findings from FCER1A mutational screening and genetic association studies, followed by functional analyses of the polymorphisms, are briefly summarized in this mini-review. The association between FCER1A gene variants and total serum IgE levels seems especially interesting and, supported by functional analyses of polymorphisms, may provide a rationale for pharmacogenetic studies on anti-IgE therapy that indirectly suppresses FcepsilonRI expression.
