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

backgroundNeutrophilic subtype asthma occurs in approximately 15-25% of the asthma cases and is associated with severe airflow obstruction, corticosteroid resistance. MicroRNA plays a vital role in regulating many immune processes, but how miRNA circuits coordinate airway inflammation during neutrophilic asthma is unclear.

methodsTo investigate the molecular mechanism of miR-223 in regulation of neutrophilic airway inflammation, miR-223 knockout mice were used to the OVA/CFA-induced neutrophilic asthma or treated with NLRP3 inhibitor and IL-1β receptor antagonist. Based on the results obtained, wide-type mice were subsequently treated with miR-223 agomirs or negative control agomirs, and the effects on airway inflammation were assessed using morphometric techniques, quantitative RT-PCR, western blot, ELISA and other molecular approaches.

resultsThe expression of miR-223 was upregulated in lung tissues of experimental mice model. Furthermore, miR-223

conclusionsThe findings of this study revealed a crucial role for miR-223 in regulating the immunoinflammatory responses by depressing the NLRP3/ IL-1β axis in neutrophilic asthma.
