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

backgroundmicroRNA-146a has been reported to be a regulator in the process of attenuating asthma by inhibiting Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) pathway. This study aimed to investigate how miR146a-inhibitor affect the symptom of asthma and the underlying mechanisms.

methodsOvalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic asthma mice model was established by intraperitoneal injection with 20 μg of OVA. Total cells and differential inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were counted by flow cytometry. The expression levels of molecules and cytokines in TLR2 signaling pathway were detected by Q-PCR and ELISA.

resultsmiR146a-inhibitor attenuated OVA-induced allergic asthma by increasing Th1 cytokines in OVA-induced allergic asthma model, and the treatment of miR146a-inhibitor can reduce the inflammation caused by asthma, followed by the down-regulation of IL-5 and IL-13 in sorted ILC2. The inhibition of miR-146a significantly reduced symptoms of asthma model with TLR2-related molecules being up-regulated.

conclusionIt was found that miR-146a is an important regulator in OVA-induced allergic asthma model, which can relieve symptoms of asthma through regulating TLR2 pathway. These findings provide a theoretical basis for solving asthma in clinical treatment.
