Transcriptional Effects of Ozone and Impact on Airway Inflammation.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 54 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Epidemiological and challenge studies in healthy subjects and in individuals with asthma highlight the health impact of environmental ozone even at levels considered safe. Acute ozone exposure in man results in sputum neutrophilia in 30% of subjects particularly young children, females, and those with ongoing cardiopulmonary disease. This may be associated with systemic inflammation although not in all cases. Chronic exposure amplifies these effects and can result in the formation of asthma-like symptoms and immunopathology. Asthmatic patients who respond to ozone (responders) induce a greater number of genes in bronchoalveolar (BAL) macrophages than healthy responders with up-regulation of inflammatory and immune pathways under the control of cytokines and chemokines and the enhanced expression of remodeling and repair programmes including those associated with protease imbalances and cell-cell adhesion. These pathways are under the control of several key transcription regulatory factors including nuclear factor (NF)-κB, anti-oxidant factors such as nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 NRF2, the p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), and priming of the immune system by up-regulating toll-like receptor (TLR) expression. Murine and cellular models of acute and chronic ozone exposure recapitulate the inflammatory effects seen in humans and enable the elucidation of key transcriptional pathways. These studies emphasize the importance of distinct transcriptional networks in driving the detrimental effects of ozone. Studies indicate the critical role of mediators including IL-1, IL-17, and IL-33 in driving ozone effects on airway inflammation, remodeling and hyperresponsiveness. Transcription analysis and proof of mechanisms studies will enable the development of drugs to ameliorate the effects of ozone exposure in susceptible individuals.
