The cyclooxygenase-2 upregulation mediates production of PGE2 autacoid to positively regulate interleukin-6 secretion in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and polyp-derived fibroblasts.
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 4 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
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) can be traditionally classified as CRSwNP [with nasal polyps (NPs)] and CRSsNP (without NPs) based on the clinical phenotypes but recently suggested to be classified by the endotypes. We have identified overexpression of the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene in NP tissues of Taiwanese CRSwNP patients. Therefore, in this study, we sought to investigate its protein expression/location/distribution in NP specimens and explore its roles in nasal polyposis. The COX-2 protein and mRNA expression was found higher in NPs than that in the control and CRSsNP patients' nasal tissues, mainly located at the epithelium and subepithelial stroma. Consistently, the CRS-related peptidoglycan (PGN) and bradykinin provoked COX-2 mRNA and protein upregulation in the human NP-derived fibroblasts and caused PGE
