Effects of short-term waterfall forest aerosol air exposure on rat lung proteomics.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Chronic exposure to airborne microparticles has been shown to increase the incidence of several chronic diseases. Previous studies have found that waterfall forest aerosols contribute to a diminished immune stress response in patients with asthma. However, the specific effects of short-term waterfall forest aerosol exposure on lung proteins have not been fully elucidated. Methods: This study used liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to analyze changes in protein expression in the lungs of rats exposed to short-term waterfall forest aerosol environments. Specific protein markers were identified using bioconductivity analysis screening and validated using immunohistochemistry. Results: Waterfall forest aerosol environment exposure on day 5 downregulated the expression of the classical inflammatory pathway nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. As the waterfall forest aerosol environment increased due to the duration of exposure, it was involved in oxidative phosphorylation and then hormone signaling in lung cells from the very beginning. In contrast, at day 15 of exposure, there is an effect on the regulation of the immune-related high-affinity IgE receptor pathway. In addition, iron-sulfur Rieske protein (Uqcrfs1), mitochondrial Tu translation elongation factor (Tufm) and ribosomal protein L4 (Rpl4) were identified as possible bioindicators for the evaluation of air quality. Conclusions: These results provide a comprehensive proteomic analysis that supports the positive contribution of a good air quality environment to lung health.
