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

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a worldwide threat. Cigarette smoke (CS) exposure causes cardiopulmonary disease and COPD and increases the risk for pulmonary tumors. In addition to poor lung function, patients with COPD are susceptible to bouts of dangerous inflammation triggered by pollutants or infection. These severe inflammatory episodes can lead to additional exacerbations, hospitalization, further deterioration of lung function, and reduced survival. Suitable models of the inflammatory conditions associated with CS, which potentiate the downward spiral in patients with COPD, are lacking, and the underlying mechanisms that trigger exacerbations are not well understood. Although initial CS exposure activates a protective role for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) functions in barrier integrity, chronic exposure depletes the pulmonary VEGF guard function in severe COPD. Thus, we hypothesized that mice with compromised VEGF production and challenged with CS would trigger human-like severe inflammatory progression of COPD. In this model, we discovered that CS exposure promotes an amplified IL-33 cytokine response and severe disease progression. Our
