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

Significant advances in understanding the cell and molecular biology of inflammation and airway smooth muscle (ASM) contractility have identified several potential novel targets for therapies of asthma. New agents targeting G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) including bitter taste receptors (TAS2R) agonists and prostaglandin EP4 receptor agonists elicit ASM relaxation. The cAMP/PKA pathway continues to be a promising drug target with the emergence of new PDE inhibitors and a novel PKA target protein, HSP20, which mediates smooth muscle relaxation via actin depolymerization. Smooth muscle relaxation can also be elicited by inhibitors of the RhoA/Rho kinase pathway via inhibition of myosin light chain phosphorylation and actin depolymerization. Targeting epigenetic processes that control chromatin remodeling and RNA-induced gene silencing in airway cells also holds great potential for novel asthma therapy. Further investigation may identify agents that inhibit smooth muscle contraction and/or restrain or reverse obstructive remodeling of the airways.
