Oncostatin M Counteracts the Fibrotic Effects of TGF-β1 and IL-4 on Nasal-Polyp-Derived Fibroblasts: A Control of Fibrosis in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps?
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is associated with inflammation and tissue remodeling including myofibroblasts differentiation and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition mediated by TGF-β1 and IL-4. Oncostatin M (OSM) is a cytokine involved in fibrotic processes in other cellular subtypes. We investigated the mechanisms of action of OSM in the fibrosis process associated with CRSwNP. The expression of IL-4, OSM and TGF-β1 was assessed by RT-qPCR. Primary human cultures of nasal-polyp-derived fibroblasts were established and stimulated by TGF-β1 and/or IL-4 and/or OSM. The expression of ECM components and αSMA was determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot. TGF-β1-Smad3 signaling was investigated by immunofluorescence. TGF-β1, IL-4 and OSM as well as αSMA were overexpressed in nasal polyps when compared to noninflammatory nasal mucosa. In TGF-β1-stimulated nasal-polyp-derived fibroblasts, ECM genes and αSMA gene and protein were overexpressed, as well as αSMA in IL-4-stimulated fibroblasts. OSM counteracted the profibrotic effect of TGF-β1 on ECM components and αSMA. TGF-β1-induced nuclear translocation of Smad3 was completely reversed by OSM. OSM counteracts the profibrotic effect of IL-4 and also TGF-β1, by inhibiting the nuclear translocation of Smad3. We suggest OSM could be an efficient tool to protect against fibrosis in CRSwNP.
