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.

Abstract

backgroundThe long-acting anticholinergic tiotropium has recently been registered for the treatment of asthma, and its use is associated with a reduction in exacerbation frequency. Anti-inflammatory and anti-remodeling effects of tiotropium have been demonstrated in in vitro and in vivo models. Because tiotropium treatment is used in combination with inhaled corticosteroids, potential additive effects between the two would be clinically relevant. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate additive effects between tiotropium and ciclesonide on airway inflammation and remodeling in guinea pig models of asthma.

methodsGuinea pigs (n = 3-8/group) were sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin in an acute (single challenge) and a chronic model (12 weekly challenges) of allergic asthma. Animals were treated with vehicle, nebulized tiotropium (0.01-0.3 mM) and/or intranasally instilled ciclesonide (0.001-1 mg/kg) before each challenge. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lungs were collected for analysis of airway inflammation and remodeling.

resultsTiotropium and ciclesonide treatment, alone or in combination, did not inhibit airway inflammation in the acute asthma model. In a dose-finding study, low doses of tiotropium and ciclesonide inhibited airway eosinophilia and airway smooth muscle thickening in the chronic asthma model. Threshold doses of 0.01 mM tiotropium (nebulizer concentration) and 0.01 mg/kg ciclesonide were selected to investigate potential additive effects between both drugs. At these doses, tiotropium and ciclesonide did not inhibit airway eosinophilia or airway smooth muscle thickening when administered alone, but significantly inhibited these allergen-induced responses when administered in combination.

conclusionsCombined treatment with low doses of tiotropium and ciclesonide inhibits airway inflammation and remodeling in a guinea pig model of chronic asthma, suggesting that combined treatment with anticholinergics and corticosteroids may have anti-inflammatory and anti-remodeling activity in allergic airway diseases. Since tiotropium is registered as a therapy for asthma added on to corticosteroid treatment, these beneficial effects of the combination therapy may be clinically relevant.
