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

Found in inflammatory zone 1 (FIZZ1) plays a vital role in pulmonary inflammation and angiogenesis. In addition, FIZZ1 plays a role in the early stages of airway remodeling in asthma by increasing the expression of α smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and type I collagen. However, the role of FIZZ1 in the airway remodeling of asthma remains unclear. In the present study, FIZZ1 was identified to be upregulated in ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthmatic mice, along with phosphorylated protein kinase B (Akt). Following FIZZ1 recombinant protein co-culture in the murine lung epithelial-cell line, Akt phosphorylation was upregulated, however, following transfection with FIZZ1-small hairpin RNA, the phosphorylation levels were decreased. The variation in α-SMA and type I collagen expression levels was consistent with the Akt phosphorylation levels. Intratracheal administration of LY294002 and Akt inhibitor IV to the asthmatic mice was capable of reducing airway inflammation, downregulating the expression of α-SMA, type I collagen and fibronectin-1 and increasing the expression of E-cadherin. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that FIZZ1 promoted airway remodeling in asthma via the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway. Blocking the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway may attenuate the early stages of airway remodeling induced by OVA by regulating the abnormal process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
