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.

Abstract

Lung fibrosis and tissue remodeling are features of chronic diseases such as severe asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and systemic sclerosis. However, fibrosis-targeted therapies are currently limited. We demonstrate in mouse models of allergen- and bleomycin-driven airway inflammation that neutralization of the TNF family cytokine TL1A through Ab blocking or genetic deletion of its receptor DR3 restricted increases in peribronchial smooth muscle mass and accumulation of lung collagen, primary features of remodeling. TL1A was found as a soluble molecule in the airways and expressed on the surface of alveolar macrophages, dendritic cells, innate lymphoid type 2 cells, and subpopulations of lung structural cells. DR3 was found on CD4 T cells, innate lymphoid type 2 cells, macrophages, fibroblasts, and some epithelial cells. Suggesting in part a direct activity on lung structural cells, administration of recombinant TL1A into the naive mouse airways drove remodeling in the absence of other inflammatory stimuli, innate lymphoid cells, and adaptive immunity. Correspondingly, human lung fibroblasts and bronchial epithelial cells were found to express DR3 and responded to TL1A by proliferating and/or producing fibrotic molecules such as collagen and periostin. Reagents that disrupt the interaction of TL1A with DR3 then have the potential to prevent deregulated tissue cell activity in lung diseases that involve fibrosis and remodeling.
