The underlying molecular mechanism of ciliated epithelium dysfunction and TGF-β signaling in children with congenital pulmonary airway malformations.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The aim of this study was to investigate the variation in gene expression in the complete transcripts of Congenitalpulmonary airwaymalformation (CPAM) of the lung using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. There were 20 cases involving children with CPAM were used for selection of study sample. NGS was used to establish RNA-Seq libraries for the two groups of samples separately, and both groups were conducted to differential expression analysis and Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment analysis. The pathways of the differential genes were analyzed to find the enriched target pathways. A total of 592 genes were expressed with significant differences (CPAM vs. normal tissue, P < 0.05). GO functional analysis of DEGs indicated that abnormal ciliary function played a role in the development of CPAM. Subsequently, analysis of these genes pathways showed the TGF-β signaling pathway was significantly enriched. Finally, the results of immunohistochemical analysis of some DEGs showed that a significant reduction in the expression of SMAD6, a gene related to the TGF-β signaling pathway, led to abnormal activation of the pathway. TGF-β signaling pathway involved in the evolution of the disease obtained by DEGs enrichment pathway analysis. SMAD6, a gene involved in this pathway, might be a potential biomarker for the diagnosis and treatment of CPAM.
