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

Fluctuating forces imposed on the airway smooth muscle due to breathing are believed to regulate hyperresponsiveness in vivo. However, recent animal and human isolated airway studies have shown that typical breathing-sized transmural pressure (Ptm) oscillations around a fixed mean are ineffective at mitigating airway constriction. To help understand this discrepancy, we hypothesized that Ptm oscillations capable of producing the same degree of bronchodilation as observed in airway smooth muscle strip studies requires imposition of strains larger than those expected to occur in vivo. First, we applied increasingly larger amplitude Ptm oscillations to a statically constricted airway from a Ptm simulating normal functional residual capacity of 5 cmH2O. Tidal-like oscillations (5-10 cmH2O) imposed 4.9 ± 2.0% strain and resulted in 11.6 ± 4.8% recovery, while Ptm oscillations simulating a deep inspiration at every breath (5-30 cmH2O) achieved 62.9 ± 12.1% recovery. These same Ptm oscillations were then applied starting from a Ptm = 1 cmH2O, resulting in approximately double the strain for each oscillation amplitude. When extreme strains were imposed, we observed full recovery. On combining the two data sets, we found a linear relationship between strain and resultant recovery. Finally, we compared the impact of Ptm oscillations before and after constriction to Ptm oscillations applied only after constriction and found that both loading conditions had a similar effect on narrowing. We conclude that, while sufficiently large strains applied to the airway wall are capable of producing substantial bronchodilation, the Ptm oscillations necessary to achieve those strains are not expected to occur in vivo.
