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

backgroundAsthma is often accompanied by type 2 immunity rich in IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 cytokines produced by T

objectiveIL-9 and IL-21 boost activation and proliferation of T

methodsUsing newly generated antibodies, we inhibited IL-9 and IL-21 alone or in combination in various murine models of asthma. In a translational approach using segmental allergen challenge, we recently described elevated IL-9 levels in human subjects with allergic asthma compared with nonasthmatic controls. Here, we also measured IL-21 in both groups.

resultsIL-9 played a central role in controlling innate IL-33-induced lung inflammation by promoting proliferation and activation of ILC2s in an IL-21-independent manner. Conversely, chronic house dust mite-induced airway inflammation, mainly driven by adaptive immunity, was solely dependent on IL-21, which controlled T

conclusionsIL-9 and IL-21 play important and nonredundant roles in allergic asthma by boosting ILC2s and T
