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

backgroundIntrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is strongly correlated with an increased risk of asthma later in life. Farm dust protects mice from developing house dust mite-induced asthma, and loss of ubiquitin modifying enzyme A20 in lung epithelium would abolish this protective effect. However, the mechanisms of A20 in the development of asthma following IUGR remains unknown.

methodsAn IUGR rat model induced by maternal nutrient restriction was used for investigating the role of A20 in the response characteristics of IUGR rats to ovalbumin (OVA) challenge. The ubiquitination of proteins and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications were used to further assess the potential mechanism of A20.

resultsIUGR can reduce the expression of A20 protein in lung tissue of newborn rats and continue until 10 weeks after birth. OVA challenging can increase the expression of A20 protein in lung tissue of IUGR rats, but its level was still significantly lower than the control OVA group. The differentially ubiquitinated proteins in lung tissues were also observed in IUGR and normal newborn rats. Furthermore, this ubiquitination phenomenon continued from the newborn to adulthood. In the detected RNA methylations, m6A abundance of the motif GGACA was the highest. The higher abundances of m6A modification of A20 mRNA from IUGR were negatively correlated with the trend of A20 protein levels.

conclusionThese findings indicate A20 as a key regulator during the development of asthma following IUGR, providing further insight into the prevention of asthma induced by environmental factors.
