Cholesterol Regulates Airway Epithelial Cell Differentiation by Inhibiting p53 Nuclear Translocation.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Cholesterol is an essential plasma membrane component, and altered cholesterol metabolism has been linked to cholesterol accumulation in the airways of COPD and cystic fibrosis patients. However, its role in airway epithelial differentiation is not well understood. Tandem mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of differentiating primary human bronchial epithelial cells (phBECs) revealed an overall inhibition of the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. We hypothesized that excess cholesterol impairs the differentiation of phBECs into a fully functional bronchial epithelium. PhBECs were differentiated in the presence of 80 µM cholesterol for 21 days, the main airway cell type populations monitored using qRT-PCR and immunofluorescent stainings, and epithelial barrier integrity was analyzed via transepithelial electrical resistance measurements. Chronic cholesterol exposure led to a significant increase in CC10
