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

backgroundAccumulating evidence indicates that asthma has systemic effects and affects brain function. Although airway inflammation is proposed to initiate afferent communications with the brain, the signaling pathways have not been established.

objectiveWe sought to identify the cellular and molecular pathways involved in afferent lung-brain communication during airway inflammation in asthma.

methodsIn 23 adults with mild asthma, segmental bronchial provocation with allergen (SBP-Ag) was used to provoke airway inflammation and retrieve bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for targeted protein analysis and RNA sequencing to determine gene expression profiles. Neural responses to emotional cues in nodes of the salience network were assessed with functional magnetic resonance imaging at baseline and 48 hours after SBP-Ag.

resultsCell deconvolution and gene coexpression network analysis identified 11 cell-associated gene modules that changed in response to SBP-Ag. SBP-Ag increased bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophils and expression of an eosinophil-associated module enriched for genes related to T

conclusionsOur results identify a specific inflammatory pathway linking asthma-related airway inflammation and emotion-related neural function. Systemically, T
