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

Airway epithelial damage is a cardinal feature of chronic asthma. Agents which enhance epithelial repair without triggering uncontrolled fibrosis of the mesenchyme would be predicted to be useful in the management of asthma. We have developed a repeat wound model using mucociliated human bronchial epithelial cell (HBEC) cultures to define the key pathways involved in airway epithelial repair, and to study the effects of potential therapeutic agents on epithelial repair in a chronic setting. We show that repair occurs primarily by cell migration to close a defect; this process requires activation of the EGF receptor (EGFR) and subsequent tyrosine kinase signalling. Migration is accompanied by up-regulation of CD44 in motile cells at the wound margins with proliferation of non-migrating cells adjacent to the wound area. In long-term studies beta2 adrenoceptor agonists and phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors have no effect on repair potential, in contrast chronic treatment with the glucocorticoid dexamethasone extends the lifespan of repeatedly wounded differentiated cultures. We suggest part of the beneficial effects of glucocorticoids in asthma is related to this ability to prolong repair potential following repeated episodes of epithelial injury.
