Comparison of the anti-inflammatory effects of Cilomilast, Budesonide and a p38 Mitogen activated protein kinase inhibitor in COPD lung tissue macrophages.
Article in BMC pharmacology & toxicology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a disease characterized by a largely irreversible airflow obstruction and a persistent, excessive inflammatory response. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are increased in the lungs of COPD patients, and act as orchestrators of the inflammatory response, releasing a range of mediators to coordinate recruitment and activation of leukocytes. Attempts to treat the inflammatory component of COPD with anti-inflammatory drugs such as steroids has met with limited success. In this study, we compared the ability of the phosphodiesterase IV (PDEIV) inhibitor Cilomilast, the steroid Budesonide, and the p38 mitogen activated protein kinase inhibitor BIRB-796 to inhibit tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) releases from AMs isolated from COPD lung transplant tissue. All studies were carried out with appropriate ethical approval and written, informed consent was obtained from each subject. Cilomilast had little effect on cytokine release from AMs. There was considerable variability in the responsiveness of AMs to Budesonide, with a subset of AMs responding poorly to Budesonide. BIRB-796 inhibited TNFα release from all AM donors, including those that responded poorly to steroids. Treatment with BIRB-796 and Budesonide together gave an additive decrease in TNFa release. These results suggest that a p38 inhibitor may provide advantages over existing anti-inflammatory treatments for COPD, either as an add-on to existing therapy, or to treat patients who respond poorly to steroids.
