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

backgroundAsthma is a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory disease of the airway, involving reversible airflow limitation and airway remodeling. T helper 17 (Th17) cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of allergic asthma. However, there is limited understanding of the signaling pathways controlling Th17 cell differentiation in asthma. The aim of this study was to investigate if the Yes-associated protein (YAP)/hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)/microRNA-182 (miR-182)/early growth response 2 (EGR2) axis is involved in mediating Th17 cell differentiation and disease severity in asthma.

methodsThe study included 29 pediatric patients with asthma, 22 healthy volunteers, ovalbumin-induced murine asthma models, and mouse naive CD4

resultsYAP, HIF-1α, and miR-182 were upregulated but EGR2 was downregulated in human and mouse peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the asthma group. Abundant expression of YAP and HIF-1α promoted miR-182 expression and then inhibited EGR2, a target of miR-182, thus enhancing Th17 differentiation and deteriorating asthma and lipid metabolism dysfunction. In addition, in vivo overexpression of EGR2 countered the promoting effect of the YAP/HIF-1α/miR-182 axis on asthma and lipid metabolism dysfunction.

conclusionThese results indicate that activation of the YAP/HIF-1α/miR-182/EGR2 axis may promote Th17 cell differentiation, exacerbate asthma development, and aggravate lipid metabolism dysfunction, thus suggesting a potential therapeutic target for asthma.
