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 heterogenous disease that can be classified into eosinophilic (type 2-high) and noneosinophilic (type 2-low) endotypes. The type 2-low endotype of asthma can be characterized by the presence of neutrophilic airway inflammation that is poorly responsive to corticosteroids. Dysregulated innate immune responses to microbial products including Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands have been associated with the pathogenesis of neutrophilic asthma. The key molecules that regulate inflammatory responses in individuals with neutrophilic asthma remain unclear. We previously reported that the immunoregulatory receptor neuropilin-2 (NRP2) is expressed by murine and human alveolar macrophage (AM) and suppresses lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neutrophilic airway inflammation.

methodsHere, we investigated the immunoregulatory role of NRP2 in a mouse model of neutrophilic asthma.

resultsWe found that TLR ligands, but not T helper 2 (Th2)-promoting adjuvants, induced NRP2 expression by AM. Using an LPS-mediated model of neutrophilic asthma, we demonstrate that NRP2 was increased in AM and other lung antigen-presenting cells following airway challenge with antigen. Conditional deletion of NRP2 in myeloid cells exacerbated airway inflammation in a neutrophilic asthma model. In contrast, myeloid-specific ablation of NRP2 did not affect airway inflammation in a Th2-mediated eosinophilic asthma model. Myeloid-specific ablation of NRP2 did not affect Th1/Th17 responses to inhaled antigens or expression of neutrophil chemokines but rather resulted in impaired efferocytosis by AM, which is necessary for effective resolution of airway inflammation.

conclusionOur findings suggest that NRP2 is a negative regulator of airway inflammation associated with neutrophilic asthma.
