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

backgroundAcrolein is a major component of environmental pollutants, cigarette smoke, and is also formed by heating cooking oil. We evaluated the interstrain variability of response to subchronic inhalation exposure to acrolein among inbred mouse strains for inflammation, oxidative stress, and tissue injury responses. Furthermore, we studied the response to acrolein vapor in the lung mucosa model using human primary bronchial epithelial cells (PBEC) cultured at an air-liquid interface (ALI) to evaluate the findings of mouse studies.

methodsFemale 129S1/SvlmJ, A/J, BALB/cByJ, C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6J, DBA/2J, and FVB/NJ mice were exposed to 1 part per million (ppm) acrolein or filtered air for 11 weeks. Total cell counts and protein concentrations were measured in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid to assess airway inflammation and membrane integrity. PBEC-ALI models were exposed to acrolein vapor (0.1 and 0.2 ppm) for 30 minutes. Gene expression of proinflammatory, oxidative stress, and tissue injury-repair markers was assessed (cut off: ≥2 folds;

resultsTotal BAL cell numbers and protein concentrations remained unchanged following acrolein exposure in all mouse strains. BALB/cByJ, C57BL/6J, and 129S1/SvlmJ strains were the most affected with an increased expression of proinflammatory, oxidative stress, and/or tissue injury markers. DBA/2J, C3H/HeJ, A/J, and FVB/NJ were affected to a lesser extent. Both matrix metalloproteinase 9 (

conclusionThe interstrain differences in response to subchronic acrolein exposure in mouse suggest a genetic predisposition. Altered expression of IL-17 pathway genes following acrolein exposure in the PBEC-ALI models indicates that it has a central role in chemical irritant toxicity. The findings also indicate that genetically determined differences in IL-17 signaling pathway genes in the different mouse strains may explain their susceptibility to different chemical irritants.
