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

backgroundAsthma is characterized to chronic airway inflammation. However, the role of oxidative damage and DNA damage in the pathophysiology of asthma have rarely been studied. On the other hand, there are evidences that DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) participates in DNA damage repair and regulates innate immune responses and proinflammatory signaling pathways.

methodsAfter ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthmatic murine model was established, airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR), total and differential bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cell counts. IL-4, IL-8, IL-13 and TNF-α were chosen to evaluate the airway inflammation, and oxidative damage indicators levels (8-isoprostane and 8-OhdG) in BALF were measured. Alkaline comet assay was conducted to detected DNA damage. Histological analysis was conducted after hematoxylin and eosin (HE) straining, and proteins were extracted for 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) detection and immunoblotting.

resultsAHR, infiltration of inflammatory cells and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in lungs were significantly higher in asthmatic mice. OVA challenge resulted in robust increase in 3-NT, 8-isoprostane and 8OHdG in lungs, which represented oxidative damage level. DNA damage and repair proteins levels in asthma were also increased. NU7441 aggravated the DNA damage level. However, it suppressed infiltration of lung inflammatory cells and inflammatory cytokine levels, suggesting that DNA-PK may be a potential target for treatment of allergic asthma.

conclusionsOur study showed that oxidative damage and DNA damage existed in the airway of asthmatic mice. NU7441 augmented DNA damage level, and moreover, it also attenuated infiltration of inflammatory cells and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in asthmatic lungs.
