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

Bronchial asthma (asthma) is a respiratory disease characterized by chronic inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness, and airway remodeling. Numerous studies have delved into asthma's pathogenesis, among which epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) is considered one of the important mechanisms in the pathogenesis of asthma. EMT refers to the transformation of epithelial cells, which lose their original features and acquire a migratory and invasive stromal phenotype. EMT contributes to normal physiological functions like growth, development, and wound healing. However, EMT is also involved in the occurrence and development of many diseases. Currently, the precise regulatory mechanism linking EMT and asthma remain obscure. Increasing evidence suggests that airway EMT contributes to asthma pathogenesis via dysregulation of associated control mechanisms. This review explores EMT's significance in asthma and the regulatory networks associated with EMT in this context.
