Decreased Bronchial Eosinophilic Inflammation and Mucus Hypersecretion in Asthmatic Mice Lacking All Nitric Oxide Synthase Isoforms.
Article in Lung, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
backgroundAsthma is characterized by airflow limitation with chronic airway inflammation, hyperresponsiveness and mucus hypersecretion. NO is generated by three nitric oxide synthase (i/n/eNOSs) isoforms, but conflicting results have been reported using asthmatic mice treated with NOSs inhibitors and NOS-knockout mice. To elucidate the authentic role of NO/NOSs in asthma, we used asthmatic mice lacking all NOSs (n/i/eNOS(-/-)).
methodsWild-type and n/i/eNOS(-/-) mice were sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin. Pathological findings and expressions of interferon (IFN)-γ, interleukin (IL)-4, -5, -10, -13 and chemokines in the lung were evaluated.
resultsDecreased eosinophilic inflammation, bronchial thickening and mucus secretion, IL-4, -5 and -13, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, eotaxin-1 and thymus and activation-regulated chemokine expressions were observed in n/i/eNOS(-/-) mice compared to wild-type, but expressions of IFN-γ and IL-10 were similar.
conclusionUsing asthmatic n/i/eNOS(-/-) mice, NO plays important roles in accelerating bronchial eosinophilic inflammation and mucus hypersecretion in the pathophysiology of asthma.
