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

rationaleStudies suggest that inappropriate responses to proinflammatory stimuli might contribute to inflammation in cystic fibrosis (CF) lungs. However, technical challenges have made it difficult to distinguish whether altered responses in CF airways are an intrinsic defect or a secondary effect of chronic disease in their tissue of origin. The CF pig model provides an opportunity to study the inflammatory responses of CF airways at birth, before the onset of infection and inflammation.

objectivesTo test the hypothesis that acute inflammatory responses are perturbed in porcine CF airways.

methodsWe investigated the inflammatory responses of newborn CF and non-CF pig airways following a 4-hour exposure to heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus, in vivo and in vitro. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN

resultsFollowing an in vivo S. aureus challenge, markers of inflammation were similar between CF and littermate control animals through evaluation of bronchoalveolar lavage and tissues. However, transcriptome analysis revealed genotype-dependent differences as CF pigs showed a diminished host defense response compared with their non-CF counterparts. Furthermore, CF pig airways exhibited an increase in apoptotic pathways and a suppression of ciliary and flagellar biosynthetic pathways. Similar differences were observed in cultured airway epithelia from CF and non-CF pigs exposed to the stimulus.

conclusionsTranscriptome profiling suggests that acute inflammatory responses are dysregulated in the airways of newborn CF pigs.
