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

Although group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC2s) play important roles in driving the pathogenesis of allergic airway inflammation, the molecular mechanisms regulating ILC2 responses remain to be fully elucidated. Adenosine signaling is emerging as an important factor to limit excessive inflammation and tissue damage, its role in ILC2-driven airway inflammation remains to be understood. Here we identify adenosine as a negative regulator of ILC2s and allergic airway inflammation. Elevation of adenosine was observed in lungs after protease papain challenge. Adenosine receptor A2A was abundantly expressed in lung ILC2s. The adenosine analog NECA significantly suppress ILC2s responses and relieved airway inflammation induced by IL-33 or papain. Conversely, blockage of adenosine synthesis by CD73 inhibitor APCP or deficiency of A2A aggravated murine airway inflammation. Adoptive transfer of ILC2s into immunodeficiency NCG mice demonstrated that the regulation of ILC2 by adenosine was cell intrinsic. Mechanistic studies showed that the effects of adenosine on ILC2s were associated with changes in transcriptional profiling, and the elevation of intracellular cAMP and resulted NF-κB downregulation. These observations indicate that adenosine-A2A signaling is a negative regulator of ILC2s, which confers protection against airway inflammation and represents a novel therapeutic target for controlling asthma.
