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

Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor b2 (Mrgprb2) binding to its cationic endogenous and exogenous ligands induces mast cell degranulation and promotes inflammation in mice. However, the physiological roles of its human homologue MRGPRX2 remain unclear. Here we aimed to elucidate the mechanisms by which MRGPRX2 regulates vascular permeability, and generated MRGPRX2 knock-in (MRGPRX2-KI) and Mrgprb2 knockout (Mrgprb2-KO) mice. Substance P (SP) and ciprofloxacin strongly degranulated MRGPRX2-KI peritoneal mast cells (PMCs) better than WT PMCs, whereas Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) extract and phenol-soluble modulin α3 (PSMα3) did not degranulate PMCs. SP-stimulated MRGPRX2-KI PMCs released large amounts of histamine and mast cell protease 4 (MCPT4) chymase. Der p extract, PSMα3, and MCPT4, but not histamine, induced SP release from dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells. However, this effect of Der p extract/PSMα3 was suppressed by a transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) antagonist. SP-, ciprofloxacin-, Der p extract-, PSMα3-, and MCPT4-induced vascular permeability was highest in MRGPRX2-KI mice, which depended on SP. In addition, SP-, ciprofloxacin- and PSMα3-induced MRGPRX2-dependent vascular hyperpermeability was suppressed by antihistamine and chymase inhibitor. TRPV1 antagonist also inhibited PSMα3-induced MRGPRX2-dependent vascular hyperpermeability. Both Mrgprb2-KO and MRGPRX2-KI did not influence the histamine-induced murine vascular hyperpermeability. Overall, our results suggest that neuronal SP induces MRGPRX2-dependent mast cell degranulation, releasing histamine and chymase, which promote vascular hyperpermeability directly or indirectly via DRG cell activation. Importantly, the worsening cycle (MRGPRX2 → mast cell degranulation → chymase → DRG activation → SP → MRGPRX2) seems to play an important role in human MRGPRX2-depdendent inflammation.
