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

backgroundThe circadian clock powerfully regulates inflammation and the clock protein REV-ERBα is known to play a key role as a repressor of the inflammatory response. Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the airways with a strong time of day rhythm. Airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) is a dominant feature of asthma; however, it is not known if this is under clock control.

objectivesTo determine if allergy-mediated AHR is gated by the clock protein REV-ERBα.

methodsAfter exposure to the intra-nasal house dust mite (HDM) allergen challenge model at either dawn or dusk, AHR to methacholine was measured invasively in mice. MAIN

resultsWild-type (WT) mice show markedly different time of day AHR responses (maximal at dusk/start of the active phase), both

conclusionsWe identify a novel circuit regulating a core process in asthma, potentially involving circadian control of muscarinic receptor expression, in a REV-ERBα dependent fashion. CLINICAL IMPLICATION: These insights suggest the importance of considering the timing of drug administration in clinic trials and in clinical practice (chronotherapy).
