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

Asthma has become more appreciated for its heterogeneity with studies identifying type 2 and non-type 2 phenotypes/endotypes that ultimately lead to airflow obstruction, airway hyperresponsiveness, and remodeling. The pro-inflammatory environment in asthma influences airway smooth muscle (ASM) structure and function. ASM has a vast repertoire of inflammatory receptors that, upon activation, contribute to prominent features in asthma, notably immune cell recruitment and activation, hypercontractility, proliferation, migration, and extracellular matrix protein deposition. These pro-inflammatory responses in ASM can be mediated by both type 2 (e.g., IL-4, IL-13, and TSLP) and non-type 2 (e.g., TNFα, IFNγ, IL-17A, and TGFβ) cytokines, highlighting roles for ASM in type 2 and non-type 2 asthma phenotypes/endotypes. In recent years, there has been considerable advances in understanding how pro-inflammatory cytokines promote ASM dysfunction and impair responsiveness to asthma therapy, corticosteroids and long-acting β2-adrenergic receptor agonists (LABAs). Transcriptomic analyses on human ASM cells and tissues have expanded our knowledge in this area but have also raised new questions regarding ASM and its role in asthma. In this review, we discuss how pro-inflammatory cytokines, corticosteroids, and LABAs affect ASM structure and function, with particular focus on changes in gene expression and transcriptional programs in type 2 and non-type 2 asthma.
