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 regulatory role of classical Shh signaling pathway in the development of the epithelium and mesenchyme (bronchial cartilage and smooth muscles) during lung development in fetal mice.

methodsImmunohistochemical technique was used to detect the expression of Shh signaling pathway receptor Smo and Pdgfr-α in murine fetal lungs to explore the spatial and temporal characteristics of their expression. Based on the interstitial specificity of Pdgfr-α expression, we constructed a Pdgfr-α-cre to establish a E12.5 - E16.5 transgenic mice with specific knockout of the key Shh signaling molecule Smo in the pulmonary interstitium with tamoxifen induction. Immunofluorescence technique was used to observe the epithelium and mesenchyme (bronchial cartilage and smooth muscle) during fetal lung development in the transgenic mice to assess the role of Shh signaling pathway in the epithelial-to-mesenchymal (EMT) transition during the lung development.

resultsSmo was highly expressed in the epithelial and stromal lung tissues in the pseudoglandular stage and was gradually lowered over time with its distribution mainly in the interstitial tissues. Pdgfr-α was enriched in the distal lung epithelial and mesenchy tissues in early embryonic lungs and gradually migrated to the proximal stroma until becoming concentrated around the main bronchial proximal stroma. We successfully specific established mouse models of specific mesenchymal Smo knockout. Compared with the control group, the transgenic mice during E12.5-E16.5 showed significantly reduced lung the volume and bronchial branching with also decreased expression of the proximal epithelial P63 (P<0.05). The transgenic mice exhibited alterations in the expression of α-smooth muscle actin with delayed bronchial cartilage development and decreased expression of mucoprotein.

conclusionThe temporospatial specific expression of Shh signaling pathway plays an important role in developmental regulation of mouse embryonic lung epithelium and mesenchyme (bronchial cartilage and smooth muscle).
