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

introductionMany studies have shown that COPD is associated with apoptosis of bronchial or alveolar epithelial cells. Alveolar type II epithelial cells (AECII) play an important role in the pathogenetic process. Cigarette smoke extract (CSE) can induce apoptosis of AECII. The Sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway is involved in many adult lung diseases. We aimed to verify the anti-apoptotic effect of Shh in the AECII apoptosis induced by CSE.

methodsMouse lung epithelial type II cells, MLE 12, were treated by 5% CSE for 24 hours. Apoptosis was measured using flow cytometry and expression of the anti-apoptotic factor BCL-2. The role of the hedgehog pathway in cell apoptosis was assessed by real-time RT-PCT and western blotting to measure the expression of Sonic hedgehog, Patched 1, and Gli1. Recombinant mouse Sonic hedgehog was used to overexpress the Shh pathway.

resultsCSE could induce MLE 12 apoptosis. Sonic hedgehog, Patched 1 and the Gli1 were decreased in the CSE induced MLE 12 apoptosis. Overexpression Shh could partially reverse the CSE induced apoptosis.

conclusionsActivation of the Shh pathway may relieve the CSE induced MLE 12 apoptosis.
