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

backgroundExacerbations are responsible for a substantial burden of morbidity and health care use in children with asthma. Most asthma exacerbations are triggered by viral infections; however, the underlying mechanisms have not been systematically investigated.

objectiveThe objective of this study was to elucidate the molecular networks that underpin virus-induced exacerbations in asthmatic children in vivo.

methodsWe followed exacerbation-prone asthmatic children prospectively and profiled global patterns of gene expression in nasal lavage samples obtained during an acute, moderate, picornavirus-induced exacerbation and 7 to 14 days later. Coexpression network analysis and prior knowledge was used to reconstruct the underlying gene networks.

resultsThe data showed that an intricate modular program consisting of more than 1000 genes was upregulated during acute exacerbations in comparison with 7 to 14 days later. The modules were enriched for coherent cellular processes, including interferon-induced antiviral responses, innate pathogen sensing, response to wounding, small nucleolar RNAs, and the ubiquitin-proteosome and lysosome degradation pathways. Reconstruction of the wiring diagram of the modules revealed the presence of hyperconnected hub nodes, most notably interferon regulatory factor 7, which was identified as a major hub linking interferon-mediated antiviral responses.

conclusionsThis study provides an integrated view of the inflammatory networks that are upregulated during virus-induced asthma exacerbations in vivo. A series of innate signaling hubs were identified that could be novel therapeutic targets for asthma attacks.
