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

Oxidative stress plays a role in the pathophysiology of emphysema through the activation of tissue proteases and apoptosis. We examined the effects of ozone exposure by exposing BALB/c mice to either a single 3-h exposure or multiple exposures over 3 or 6 wk, with two 3-h exposures per week. Compared with air-exposed mice, the increase in neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung inflammation index was greatest in mice exposed for 3 and 6 wk. Lung volumes were increased in 3- and 6-wk-exposed mice but not in single-exposed. Alveolar space and mean linear intercept were increased in 6- but not 3-wk-exposed mice. Caspase-3 and apoptosis protease activating factor-1 immunoreactivity was increased in the airway and alveolar epithelium and macrophages of 3- and 6-wk-exposed mice. Interleukin-13, keratinocyte chemoattractant, caspase-3, and IFN-γ mRNA were increased in the 6-wk-exposed group, but heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) mRNA decreased. matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) and caspase-3 protein expression increased in lungs of 6-wk-exposed mice. Collagen area increased and epithelial area decreased in airway wall at 3- and 6-wk exposure. Exposure of mice to ozone for 6 wk induced a chronic inflammatory process, with alveolar enlargement and damage linked to epithelial apoptosis and increased protease expression.
