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

introductionSmoke-driven lung inflammation is considered to be the major pathophysiology mechanism of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)/emphysema. Protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) is a key epigenetic enzyme, which is related to protecting the tri-methylation of H3K4 (H3K4me3). We hypothesized that PTMT6 protects lung inflammation through the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway.

methodsMice were injected with cigarette smoke extract (CSE) or PBS to establish a mice model, intratracheally instilled with overexpressed PRMT6 or negative control vector. Morphometry of lung slides and lung function were measured. We determined the protein expression of PRMT6 and its related histone targets, the activation of NF-κB pathway, the level of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β).

resultsAfter PRMT6 overexpression, the morphometry indexes and lung function were improved. Also, the expression of H3K4me3 was decreased. Overexpressed PRMT6 could suppress CSE-induced NF-κB activation and pro-inflammation genes expression.

conclusionsThe overexpressed PRMT6 could serve as an inflammation inhibitor, potentially through blocking the NF-κB/p65 pathway in the murine emphysema model.
