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 rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) represents a heterogeneous disorder that can be classified into either eosinophilic or noneosinophilic endotypes. However, the immunological mechanisms of each remain unclear. The purpose of the present study was to compare and analyze inflammatory signatures of eosinophilic CRSwNP (ECRSwNP) and noneosinophilic CRSwNP (NECRSwNP). Cytokine antibody array was used to identify inflammatory mediators that were differentially expressed among ECRSwNP, NECRSwNP, and control groups. Then, bioinformatics approaches were conducted to explore biological functions and signaling pathways. In addition, pairwise correlation analyses were performed among differential levels of inflammatory mediators and tissue eosinophil infiltration. The results showed that nine mediators were significantly up-regulated in ECRSwNP, including eotaxin-2, eotaxin-3, CCL18, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, and IL-15. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that these mediators were mainly enriched in leukocyte chemotaxis and proliferation, JAK-STAT cascade, asthma, and Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation. Furthermore, seven mediators were identified to be significantly up-regulated in NECRSwNP, including CCL20, resistin, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β2, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1), CD14, glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor related protein (GITR), and lipocalin-2. These mediators were closely associated with LPS responses, neutrophil chemotaxis and migration, and IL-17 signaling pathway. In addition, pairwise correlation analyses indicated that differential levels of inflammatory mediators in ECRSwNP and NECRSwNP were broadly correlated with each other and with tissue eosinophil infiltration. In conclusion, we found that ECRSwNP and NECRSwNP exhibited different patterns of inflammatory signatures. These findings may provide further insights into heterogeneity of CRSwNP.
