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

ORMDL sphingolipid biosynthesis regulator 3 (ORMDL3) has been previously implicated in asthma pathogenesis, its effect on airway remodeling remains to be elucidated. The present study examined the expression levels of ORMDL3 in a mouse model of asthma. Mice were divided into three groups: Asthmatic model (n=10), budesonide‑treated (n=10) and a control group (n=8). Asthma was induced by sensitization with ovalbumin (OVA) and aluminum hydroxide on day 1, 7 and 14. Subsequently mice were exposed to OVA three times per week from day 28. In order to investigate the mechanism of airway remodeling 100 µg/kg aerosol budesonide was administered to 6 animals prior to exposure to OVA. The condition of lung tissues was assessed through histology, and the expression levels of ORMDL3, phosphorylated‑extracellular‑signal regulated kinase (p‑ERK) and matrix metallopeptidase‑9 (MMP‑9) were quantified using immunohistochemistry, reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. A severe inflammatory response and airway remodeling were pretreatment with budesonide. Expression levels of ORMDL3, phosphorylated (p)‑ERK and MMP‑9 were significantly greater in the asthma‑model group; however, in the group pretreated with budesonide their expression was reduced. Expression levels of ORMDL3, p‑ERK and MMP‑9 were significantly positively correlated with bronchial wall thickness. ORMDL3 expression was significantly positively correlated with p‑ERK and MMP‑9. Therefore, increased ORMDL3 expression may induce the p‑ERK/MMP‑9 pathway to promote pathological airway remodeling in patients with asthma.
