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

Background/Purpose: Mahuang decoction (MHD) is a classic famous traditional Chinese medicine and has various pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammation and anti-asthma. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential protective effect of MHD against asthma and elucidated the underlying mechanism. Materials and Methods: A mouse model of asthma was induced by ovalbumin (OVA) treatment, and then treated with MHD to evaluate its effect on the asthma. Gain- or loss-of-function approaches were performed in SP1 and FGFR3 to study their roles in asthma via measurement of airway inflammation, airway remodeling and airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) proliferation-related factors. Results: MHD reduced airway inflammation and remodeling. Additionally, MHD contributed to diminished expression of SP1, which was shown to repress airway inflammation and remodeling. Furthermore, SP1 bound to the FGFR3 promoter, resulting in the FGFR3 transcription promotion and ASMC proliferation. Conversely, FGFR3 knockdown abolished airway inflammation and remodeling, the mechanism of which was related to suppression of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Meanwhile, MHD hindered airway inflammation and remodeling following asthma by suppressing the SP1/FGFR3/PI3K/AKT axis. Conclusion: Taken together, MHD may retard airway inflammation and remodeling by suppressing the SP1/FGFR3/PI3K/AKT axis, which contributes to an extensive understanding of asthma and may provide novel therapeutic options for this disease.
