Proline is increased in allergic asthma and promotes airway remodeling.
Article in JCI insight, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Proline and its synthesis enzyme pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 1 (PYCR1) are implicated in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), yet how proline and PYCR1 function in allergic asthmatic airway remodeling via EMT has not yet been addressed to our knowledge. In the present study, increased levels of plasma proline and PYCR1 were observed in patients with asthma. Similarly, proline and PYCR1 in lung tissues were high in a murine allergic asthma model induced by house dust mites (HDMs). Pycr1 knockout decreased proline in lung tissues, with reduced airway remodeling and EMT. Mechanistically, loss of Pycr1 restrained HDM-induced EMT by modulating mitochondrial fission, metabolic reprogramming, and the AKT/mTORC1 and WNT3a/β-catenin signaling pathways in airway epithelial cells. Therapeutic inhibition of PYCR1 in wild-type mice disrupted HDM-induced airway inflammation and remodeling. Deprivation of exogenous proline relieved HDM-induced airway remodeling to some extent. Collectively, this study illuminates that proline and PYCR1 involved with airway remodeling in allergic asthma could be viable targets for asthma treatment.
