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-5 (IL-5) has been suggested to be involved in the development of airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR). Both clinical and experimental investigations have shown strong correlation between the presence of eosinophils and AHR. In this study, we used small interfering RNA (siRNA) as an approach to inhibiting the expression of IL-5 and reducing AHR. siRNAs targeting IL-5 were characterized in vitro, and siRNA-expressing lentiviruses were administered intratracheally to OVA-sensitized BALB/c mice. AHR, cytokine levels, serum levels of OVA-specific antibodies and infiltration of inflammatory cells were analyzed to investigate the effects of siRNA in an OVA-induced murine model of asthma. Lentivirus-delivered siRNA targeting IL-5 efficiently moderated the characteristics of asthma, including AHR, cellular infiltration of lung tissues, eotaxin levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and IL-5 mRNA levels in lungs in the mouse model of asthma. However, there was no effect on OVA-specific IgE level. These data demonstrate that siRNA delivered by the lentiviral system is an efficacious therapeutic strategy for asthma.
