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

Interleukin (IL)-13 transgene overexpression in the lung induces features of chronic inflammatory lung disorders, including an eosinophil-rich inflammatory cell infiltration, airway hyper-reactivity, and remodeling of the airway (eg, subepithelial fibrosis, goblet cell metaplasia, and smooth muscle hypertrophy and hyperplasia). Here, we aimed to define the role of eosinophils and eosinophil signaling molecules [eg, eotaxins and CC chemokine receptor (CCR) 3] in IL-13-mediated airway disease. To accomplish this, we mated IL-13-inducible lung transgenic mice with mice deficient in eosinophil chemoattractant molecules (eotaxin-1, eotaxin-2, and their receptor CCR3) and with mice genetically deficient in eosinophils (Deltadbl-GATA). We report that in the absence of eotaxin-2 or CCR3, there was a profound reduction in IL-13-induced eosinophil recruitment into the lung lumen. In contrast, in the absence of eotaxin-1, there was a fourfold increase in IL-13-mediated eosinophil recruitment into the airway. IL-13 transgenic mice deficient in CCR3 had a 98% reduction in lung eosinophils. Furthermore, the reduction in pulmonary eosinophils correlated with attenuation in IL-13-induced mucus cell metaplasia and collagen deposition. Mechanistic analysis identified alterations in pulmonary protease and transforming growth factor-beta1 expression in eosinophil-deficient mice. Taken together, these data definitively identify a functional contribution by eosinophils on the effects of chronic IL-13 expression in the lung.
