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 is a common chronic respiratory disease, and airway epithelial cell injury is closely related to the progression of asthma. Ferroptosis is a new type of cell death that has been proven to be involved in the pathogenesis of asthma. Notably, RNF8 has been confirmed to be critical for maintaining epithelial barrier integrity, but its role in asthma airway epithelial cell injury and ferroptosis remains unclear. Mice and 16HBE cells were treated with house dust mite (HDM) extract to establish in vivo and in vitro asthma models. HE staining and Masson staining were used to evaluate pathological lesions in mouse lung tissues, a CCK-8 assay was used to assess cell viability, and an alkaline comet assay was performed to evaluate DNA damage. The expression of key proteins was detected via Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. Our research revealed that HDM extract treatment led to DNA damage and ferroptosis in both 16HBE cells and mouse lung tissue. Additionally, HDM extract treatment decreased RNF8 expression in 16HBE cells and mouse lung tissue, whereas RNF8 overexpression reduced the levels of γH2AX, 8-OHdG, Fe
