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

Airway epithelial cells (AECs) orchestrate inflammatory responses to airborne irritants that enter the respiratory system. A viscous mucus layer produced by goblet cells in the airway epithelium also contributes to a physiological defense mechanism through the physical and chemical barriers it provides. Dysregulation or impairment in these functions has been implicated as a cause of the chronic inflammation and tissue remodeling that constitute major pathological features of asthma. In particular, mucus hypersecretion leading to airway obstruction and impaired pulmonary function is associated with morbidity and mortality in asthma patients. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in a variety of cellular processes. Accumulating evidence indicates that PPARγ agonists antagonize exaggerated inflammatory responses, yet PPARγ's precise role in airway remodeling/mucus hypersecretion has yet to be defined. In this study, we created an AEC-specific PPARγ (AEC-PPARγ) deletion to investigate PPARγ's functions in a murine model of allergic airway disease. AEC-PPARγ deficiency exaggerated airway hyperresponsiveness, inflammation, cytokine expression, and tissue remodeling. We also found that PPARγ directly bound to a PPAR response element found in
