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

objectiveTo explore whether Soufeng Yuchuan (, SFYC) formula alleviates asthma by promoting ferroptosis of airway epithelial cells.

methodsA chronic asthma rat model was established using ovalbumin (OVA) combined with aluminum hydroxide sensitization and OVA nebulization stimulation. Lung tissue pathology was assessed

resultsSFYC formula effectively alleviates airway inflammation in asthmatic rats in a dose-dependent manner. It improves airway epithelial cell integrity, reduces alveolar wall thickening and expansion, inhibits goblet cell proliferation and mucus secretion, and decreases the expression of IL-6 and IL-13 in lung tissue, as well as the serum levels of IL-6, IL-13, interleukin-4 (IL-4), and immunoglobulin E (IgE). SFYC formula mitigates ferroptosis in lung tissue of asthmatic rats. At the cellular level, it promotes proliferation of rat airway epithelial cells, inhibits cell apoptosis, suppresses ROS, MDA, and lipid accumulation, reduces the expression of TFR1, TFR2, and ASCL4, and increases the expression of GPX4 and SLC7A11 to mitigate ferroptosis.

conclusionSFYC formula alleviates asthma airway inflammation by inhibiting ferroptosis in airway epithelial cells, providing new insights and potential therapeutic targets for the development of new asthma treatment drugs.
