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 comprises heterogeneous clinical subtypes driven by diverse pathophysiological mechanisms. We characterized the modulation of the inflammatory environment with the phenotype, gene expression, and function of helper CD4 T cells among acutely exacerbated and stable asthma patients. Systemic Th2 immune deviation (IgE and Th2 cytokines) and inflammation (IL-6, CRP) were associated with increased Th17 cells during acute asthma. Th2/Th17 cell differentiation during acute asthma was regulated by the enhanced expression of transcription factors (c-MAF, IRF-4). The development of pathogenic Th2 cells during acute asthma was characterized by the secretion of inflammatory cytokines coupled with Th2 molecules and PPARγ expression. The acquisition of CD15S, CD39, CD101, and CCR4 contributed to the increased heterogeneity of Regulatory T cells during asthma. Two clusters were derived from above cytokines, CD4 T cell phenotypes, and clinical data. Cluster 1, characterized by high eosinophils, Th2 and ILC2 frequencies, and higher exacerbation rates, may represent Th2-high subtype. Cluster 2 represents a more complex subtype; it is constituted by higher neutrophils or Th17 frequencies, higher inhaled corticosteroids dose and poor asthma control. In conclusion, we characterized systematically and longitudinally Th2-high and non-Th2 asthma subtypes and the heterogeneity of CD4 T cells in stable and acute asthma.
