Angiotensin-(1-7) suppresses airway inflammation and airway remodeling via inhibiting ATG5 in allergic asthma.
Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundAngiotensin (Ang)-(1-7) can reduce airway inflammation and airway remodeling in allergic asthma. Autophagy-related 5 (ATG5) has attracted wide attentions in asthma. However, the effects of Ang-(1-7) on ATG5-mediated autophagy in allergic asthma are unclear.
methodsIn this study, human bronchial epithelial cell (BEAS-2B) and human bronchial smooth muscle cell (HBSMC) were treated with different dose of Ang-(1-7) to observe changes of cell viability. Changes of ATG5 protein expression were measured in 10 ng/mL of interleukin (IL)-13-treated cells. Transfection of ATG5 small interference RNA (siRNA) or ATG5 cDNA in cells was used to analyze the effects of ATG5 on secretion of cytokines in the IL-13-treated cells. The effects of Ang-(1-7) were compared to the effects of ATG5 siRNA transfection or ATG5 cDNA transfection in the IL-13-treated cells. In wild-type (WT) mice and ATG5 knockout (ATG5
resultsThe results showed that ATG5 protein level was decreased with Ang-(1-7) dose administration in the IL-13-treated BEAS-2B and IL13-treated HBSMC. Ang-(1-7) played similar results to ATG5 siRNA that it suppressed the secretion of IL-25 and IL-13 in the IL-13-treated BEAS-2B cells, and inhibited the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) protein in the IL-13-treated HBSMC cells. ATG5 cDNA treatment significantly increased the secretion of IL-25 and IL-13 and expression of TGF-β1 and α-SMA protein in IL-13-treated cells. Ang-(1-7) treatment suppressed the effects of ATG5 cDNA in the IL-13-treated cells. In OVA-induced WT mice, Ang-(1-7) treatment suppressed airway inflammation, remodeling and autophagy. ATG5 knockout also suppressed the airway inflammation, remodeling and autophagy.
conclusionsAng-(1-7) treatment suppressed airway inflammation and remodeling in allergic asthma through inhibiting ATG5, providing an underlying mechanism of Ang-(1-7) for allergic asthma treatment.
