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

Liver X receptors (LXRs) exert anti-inflammatory effects in animal models of certain respiratory diseases. In the present study, a model of chronic airway remodeling was established in wild-type and LXR-deficient mice. Ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized mice were chronically administered OVA via inhalation for 8 weeks. Prior to each stimulation, certain wild-type mice were treated with GW3965, which is a highly selective LXR agonist. The influence of LXRs on airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness and airway remodeling was evaluated. LXRs were indicated to increase airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness, as well as promote airway remodeling. These results suggest that inhibiting LXRs may be a potential method for the treatment of allergic asthma.
