Clarithromycin Suppresses Chloride Channel Accessory 1 and Inhibits Interleukin-13-Induced Goblet Cell Hyperplasia in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells.
Article in Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Activation of the interleukin-13 (IL-13) receptor leads to signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) activation and subsequent induction of SAM pointed domain containing ETS transcription factor (SPDEF) and chloride channel accessory 1 (CLCA1), increasing secretion of the gel-forming mucin MUC5AC. Activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) also leads to MUC5AC production via extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2). We examined the effect of clarithromycin IL-13 signaling leading to production. Normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells were grown for 14 days at an air-liquid interface (ALI) with IL-13 and/or clarithromycin. Histochemical analysis was performed using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and MUC5AC immunostaining. MUC5AC, SPDEF, and CLCA1 mRNA expression were evaluated by real-time PCR. Western analysis was used to assess phosphorylation of STAT6 and ERK1/2. Clarithromycin decreased IL-13-induced goblet cell hyperplasia and MUC5AC mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner. Clarithromycin decreased IL-13-stimulated SPDEF and CLCA1 mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner, and at 32 μg/ml CLCA1 was profoundly decreased (P < 0.001). Although clarithromycin had no effect on STAT6 phosphorylation induced by IL-13, it decreased constitutive phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (P < 0.05).
