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

Beta(2)-adrenoceptor (beta(2)-AR) agonists are very effective bronchodilators and play a major role in every stage of asthma management. However, their chronic, regular use is associated with detrimental effects including an increase in asthma-related deaths. Conversely, recent data suggest that certain beta-blockers, specifically beta-adrenoceptor (beta-AR) inverse agonists, may be useful in the chronic treatment of asthma. Here we review the data for this observation and the signaling pathways that may be involved. The data suggest that beta(2)-AR signaling is required to produce maximal airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness, and the signaling pathway responsible for these effects is likely the non-canonical beta-arrestin-2 pathway. Therefore, beta-AR inverse agonists may produce their beneficial chronic effects by inhibiting constitutive or ligand-induced activation of this pathway. Both lung parenchymal and hematopoietic cells appear to be involved in mediating the beneficial effects of beta-AR inverse agonists.
