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

Inflammatory macrophages are known to contribute to ozone toxicity. Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor involved in regulating bile acid and lipid homeostasis; it also exerts anti-inflammatory activity by suppressing macrophage NF-κB. Herein, we analyzed the role of FXR in regulating macrophage activation in the lung following ozone exposure. Treatment of wild-type (WT) mice with ozone (0.8 ppm, 3 h) resulted in increases in proinflammatory (F4/80+CD11c+CD11b+Ly6CHi) and anti-inflammatory (F4/80+CD11c+CD11b+Ly6CLo) macrophages in the lung. The accumulation of proinflammatory macrophages was increased in FXR-/- mice compared with WT mice; however, anti-inflammatory macrophage activation was blunted as reflected by reduced arginase and mannose receptor expression, a response correlated with decreased Nur77. This was associated with prolonged oxidative stress, as measured by 4-hydroxynonenal-modified proteins in the lung. Loss of FXR was accompanied by protracted increases in lung NF-κB activity and its target, inducible nitric oxide synthase in response to ozone. Levels of Tnf-α, Il-1β, Ccr2, Ccl2, Cx3cr1, and Cx3cl1 were also increased in lungs of FXR-/- relative to WT mice; conversely, genes regulating lipid homeostasis including Lxrα, Apoe, Vldlr, Abcg1, and Abca1 were downregulated, irrespective of ozone exposure. In FXR-/- mice, ozone caused an increase in total lung phospholipids, with no effect on SP-B or SP-D. Dyslipidemia was correlated with blunting of ozone-induced increases in positive end-expiratory pressure-dependent quasi-static pressure volume curves indicating a stiffer lung in FXR-/- mice. These findings identify FXR as a regulator of macrophage activation following ozone exposure suggesting that FXR ligands may be useful in mitigating inflammation and oxidative stress induced by pulmonary irritants.
