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

Lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is associated with reduced lung function through unclear mechanisms. In this study, we test the hypothesis that RSV infection induces genomic reprogramming of extracellular matrix remodeling pathways. For this purpose, we sought to identify transcriptionally active open chromatin domains using assay for transposase-accessible-next generation sequencing (ATAC-Seq) in highly differentiated lower airway epithelial cells. High confidence nucleosome-free regions were those predicted independently using two peak-calling algorithms. In uninfected cells, ~12,650 high-confidence open chromatin regions were identified. These mapped to ~8700 gene bodies, whose genes functionally controlled organelle synthesis and Th2 pathways (IL6, TSLP). These latter cytokines are preferentially secreted by RSV-infected bronchiolar cells and linked to mucous production, obstruction, and atopy. By contrast, in RSV infection, we identify ~1700 high confidence open chromatin domains formed in 1120 genes, primarily in introns. These induced chromatin modifications are associated with complex gene expression profiles controlling tyrosine kinase growth factor signaling and extracellular matrix (ECM) secretory pathways. Of these, RSV induces formation of nucleosome-free regions on
