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

backgroundEotaxins (EOTs), primarily expressed in airway epithelial cells (AECs), act as chemoattractants for eosinophils in asthma pathogenesis. Recent studies have suggested that EOTs have additional functions beyond chemotaxis. However, the distinct roles of EOTs remain incompletely understood.

methodsSerum EOT1, EOT2, myeloperoxidase (MPO), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) levels were evaluated by ELISA and serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) levels were measured by ImmunoCAP in 79 adult asthmatics. Clinical characteristics were analyzed by inflammatory phenotype, disease severity, and serum EOT1/EOT2 levels. The functions of EOTs were investigated in vitro and ex vivo. For in vivo, EOT1 and EOT2 were intranasally administered to ovalbumin/lipopolysaccharide-induced asthmatic mice (BALB/c). To assess neutralization effects, anti-EOT1 or anti-EOT2 antibodies were intranasally administered.

resultsSerum EOT1 and EOT2 levels were higher in patients with severe asthma (SA) than in those with non-SA. Serum EOT1 levels were associated with increased blood/sputum eosinophil counts and serum ECP levels, but not significantly correlated with FEV

conclusionEOT1 promotes T2/eosinophilic inflammation, whereas EOT2 accelerates airway remodeling and lung function decline by activating neutrophils, providing a new insight into the distinct roles of EOTs in the pathogenesis of SA.
