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

Interleukin 5 (IL-5) plays crucial roles in type 2-high asthma by mediating eosinophil maturation, activation, chemotaxis and survival. Inhibition of IL-5 signaling is considered a strategy for asthma treatment. Here, we identified MARCH2 and MARCH3 as critical negative regulators of IL-5-triggered signaling. MARCH2 and MARCH3 associate with the IL-5 receptor α chain (IL-5Rα) and mediate its K27-linked polyubiquitination at K379 and K383, respectively, and its subsequent lysosomal degradation. Deficiency of MARCH2 or MARCH3 modestly increases the level of IL-5Rα and enhances IL-5-induced signaling, whereas double knockout of MARCH2/3 has a more dramatic effect. March2/3 double knockout markedly increases the proportions of eosinophils in the bone marrow and peripheral blood in mice. Double knockout of March2/3 aggravates ovalbumin (OVA)-induced eosinophilia and causes increased inflammatory cell infiltration, peribronchial mucus secretion and production of Th2 cytokines. Neutralization of Il-5 attenuates OVA-induced airway inflammation and the enhanced effects of March2/3 double deficiency. These findings suggest that MARCH2 and MARCH3 play redundant roles in targeting IL-5Rα for degradation and negatively regulating allergic airway inflammation.
