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

Asthma is a chronic T helper type 2 (Th2) cell-mediated inflammatory disease characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and airway inflammation. Although the majority of patients with asthma can achieve a good level of control with existing treatments, asthma runs a chronic course and the effectiveness of current treatment is not satisfactory for certain patients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNAs that suppress gene expression at the post-transcriptional level; their role in regulating allergic inflammation remains largely unknown. The present study aimed to explore the role of miRNA-155 in the pathogenesis of asthma and its potential as a target for treatment. The expression of miRNA-155 increased in ovalbumin-sensitized and challenged mice compared with control mice, and lentiviral vector-delivered small interfering (si)RNA targeting miRNA-155 resulted in reduced AHR, airway inflammation and Th2 cytokine production. The data from the present study indicate that miRNA-155 serves an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma, and that lentiviral vector-delivered siRNA targeting miRNA-155 may serve as a novel approach for the treatment of allergic asthma.
