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

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a pleiotropic cytokine whose expression is increased in numerous respiratory diseases, particularly in asthma. However, the role of GM-CSF in the pathogenesis of these conditions in vivo remains unclear. Here, we report the functional activities of GM-CSF highly expressed in rat lung after intrapulmonary transfer of the gene coding for murine GM-CSF by using an adenoviral vector. This high, transient expression of GM-CSF led to the sustained but self-limiting accumulation of eosinophils and macrophages associated with tissue injury in the lung followed by varying degrees of irreversible fibrotic reactions observed in later stages. These results suggest that GM-CSF plays a previously unrealized role in the development of respiratory conditions characterized by eosinophilia, granuloma and/or fibrosis and provide the rationale for targeting this molecule in these diseases.
