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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveAsthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by dysregulated cytokine expression. The RNA-binding protein KSRP reduces the expression of several pro-inflammatory mediators. Therefore, we investigated whether KSRP modulates Th2-associated immune responses in vivo in an ovalbumin-induced (OVA) allergic asthma model in C57BL/6 KSRP-deficient mice (KSRP

methodsAsthma severity in OVA-immunized wild type or KSRP

resultsKSRP deficiency exacerbates OVA-induced allergic asthma compared to wild type mice, as indicated by increased AHR, more severe lung damage, goblet cell hyperplasia and increased OVA-specific antibody production. CBA analyses confirmed, that KSRP deficiency enhances IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 production in BALF. The effect of KSRP on Th2-associated cytokine expression appears to be mediated by modulation of the STAT6 and NFAT signaling pathway rather than by inhibiting the stability of cytokine-encoding mRNA species.

conclusionOur data demonstrate that KSRP dampens Th2 immune cell activity and therefore seems to be important for the pathogenesis of Th2-mediated diseases.
