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

objectiveTo investigate the effect of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM-2) overexpression on airway inflammation and remodeling in mice with asthma.

methodsA total of 40 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal control, asthma, empty vector, and TREM-2 overexpression groups (n=10 each). Ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization and challenge were performed to establish the model of asthma. The mice in the control group were given normal saline, and those in the empty vector and TREM-2 overexpression groups were transfected with adenovirus vector and TREM-2 adenovirus, respectively. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to measure the expression of TREM-2, MMP-2, MMP-9, ADAM33, and ADAM8. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected to perform cell counting and classification. ELISA was used to measure the total serum level of IgE and the levels of cytokines in BALF.

resultsCompared with the control group, the asthma group showed significant reductions in the mRNA and protein expression of TREM-2 (P<0.05), a significantly increased level of Th2 cytokine (P<0.05), and significantly increased numbers of total cells and classified cells. Compared with the asthma group, the TREM-2 overexpression group showed a significantly reduced level of Th2 cytokine (P<0.05), a significantly reduced level of IgE (P<0.05), and significantly reduced numbers of total cells and classified cells (P<0.05), as well as significantly downregulated expression of the inflammatory factors and growth factors MMP-2, MMP-9, TGF-β1, ADAM8, and ADAM33 (P<0.05).

conclusionsTREM-2 overexpression significantly alleviates airway inflammation and airway remodeling in mice with asthma and may become a potential target for the prevention and treatment of childhood asthma.
