Analysis of cytokine pattern in exhaled breath condensate of lung transplant recipients with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome.

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.
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
introductionExhaled breath condensate (EBC) analysis is a promising method for investigating airway pathology. In this pilot study we tested the cytokine pattern of EBC of lung transplant patients with and without clinical evidence of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). MATERIALS AND
methodsBreath condensates collected from eight BOS patients and eight stable BOS-free lung transplant recipients in three consecutive visits were pooled in order to increase protein concentration and were then used for antibody microarray analysis detecting 120 cytokines simultaneously.
resultsNine cytokines exhibited more than twofold increase and four exhibited more than twofold decrease in BOS patients as compared to stable subjects.
conclusionWe conclude that inflammatory cytokines are present in EBC of lung transplant recipients, however the potential benefit of detecting the EBC proteome warrants further studies.
