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

Muco-obstructive lung diseases feature extensive bronchiectasis due to the uncontrolled release of neutrophil serine proteases into the airways. To assess if cathepsin G (CG) is a novel key player in chronic lung inflammation, we developed membrane-bound (mSAM) and soluble (sSAM) FRET reporters. The probes quantitatively revealed elevated CG activity in samples from 46 patients. For future basic science and personalized clinical applications, we developed a rapid, highly informative, and easily translatable small-molecule FRET flow cytometry assay for monitoring protease activity including cathepsin G. We demonstrated that mSAM distinguished healthy from patient cells by FRET-based flow cytometry with excellent correlation to confocal microscopy data.
