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

Human surfactant protein-A2 (hSP-A2) is a component of pulmonary surfactant that plays an important role in the lung's immune system by interacting with viruses, bacteria, and fungi to facilitate pathogen clearance and by downregulating inflammatory responses after an allergic challenge. Genetic variation in SP-A2 at position Gln223Lys is present in up to ∼30% of the population and has been associated with several lung diseases, such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and lung cancer (M. M. Pettigrew, J. F. Gent, Y. Zhu, E. W. Triche, et al., BMC Med Genet 8:15, 2007, https://bmcmedgenet.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2350-8-15; Y. Wang, P. J. Kuan, C. Zing, J. T. Cronkhite, et al., Am J Hum Genet 84:52-59, 2009, https://www.cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/S0002-9297(08)00595-8). Previous work performed by our group showed differences in levels of SP-A binding to non-live mycoplasma membrane fractions that were dependent on the presence of a lysine (K) or a glutamine (Q) at amino acid position 223 in the carbohydrate region of SP-A2. On the basis of these differences, we have derived 20-amino-acid peptides flanking this region of interest in order to test the ability of each to regulate various immune responses to live
