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

Altered expressions of the key enzymes in arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism, prostaglandin synthase 1 and 2 and cysteinyl leukotriene C(4) synthase, are of importance in understanding aspirin-induced asthma. We propose a mathematical model of AA metabolism and its interaction with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Model simulations depict the impact of modified expressions of the above enzymes on the time dependent synthesis of cysteinyl leukotrienes and anti-inflammatory prostaglandins before and during NSAID exposure in different model states describing healthy humans as well as aspirin-tolerant and -intolerant asthmatics. The results are compared and evaluated with experimental data taken from the literature. Our results identify the decreased expression of prostaglandin H synthase 1 and increased expression of leukotriene C(4) synthase as the key elements in AA metabolism that contribute to increased leukotriene C(4) and decreased anti-inflammatory prostaglandins after NSAID dosing in aspirin-intolerant patients. On the other hand, the decreased expression of prostaglandin H synthase 2 implies permanently increased leukotriene C(4) and lowers the sensitivity to increased drug doses. The model is used for identification of susceptible patient populations for aspirin and ibuprofen, and for identification of critical aspirin doses that might induce bronchoconstriction.
