KRN7000 Reduces Airway Inflammation via Natural Killer T Cells in Obese Asthmatic Mice.
Article in Inflammation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Although natural killer T cells (NKT cells) are altered in obese asthmatic mice, their function remains completely unclear. To further explore the potential mechanism of NKT cells in airway inflammation of obesity-associated asthma, we examined the effects of α-galactosylceramide (KRN7000) on airway inflammation in obese asthmatic mice. Male C57BL/6J mice were divided into five groups: (1) control; (2) asthma; (3) A + KRN, asthma with KRN7000; (4) obese asthma; and (5) OA + KRN, obese asthma with KRN7000. Cytometric bead array (CBA) was used to detect interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in the serum. Flow cytometry was used to detect NKT cells and CD69
