The IFN-γ-p38, ERK kinase axis exacerbates neutrophilic chronic rhinosinusitis by inducing the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.

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.
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
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous and multifactorial inflammatory disease characterized by involvement of diverse types of inflammatory cells. Asian CRS patients frequently show infiltration of neutrophils and an elevated level of interferon (IFN)-γ; by contrast, western patients exhibit eosinophil infiltration and enhanced levels of Th2-related cytokines. Neutrophilia in tissues decreases sensitivity to corticosteroids, but the mechanisms underlying the progression of neutrophilic CRS are unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of IFN-γ in CRS patients with marked neutrophil infiltration. We report that the IFN-γ level is upregulated in the tissues of these patients, particularly those with non-eosinophilic nasal polyps. The level of IFN-γ was significantly correlated with markers of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We further demonstrated that IFN-γ induced the EMT via the p38 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathways in a manner distinct from the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α, SMAD, and NF-κB signaling pathways. In a murine nasal polyp (NP) model, blocking the p38 and ERK signaling pathways prevented NP formation and chemotactic cytokine secretion by neutrophils but not eosinophils. Taken together, our results suggest that IFN-γ can induce the EMT in nasal epithelial cells, and thus blocking the p38 and ERK pathways could be an effective therapeutic strategy against neutrophil-dominant CRS.
