Interactions between epithelial mesenchymal plasticity, barrier dysfunction and innate immune pathways shape the genesis of allergic airway disease.
Review in Expert review of respiratory medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionIn genetically predisposed individuals, exposure to aeroallergens and infections from RNA viruses shape epithelial barrier function, leading to Allergic Asthma (AA). Here, activated pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in lower airway sentinel cells signal epithelial injury-repair pathways leading to cell-state changes [epithelial mesenchymal plasticity (EMP)], barrier disruption and sensitization. AREAS COVERED: 1. Characteristics of sentinel epithelial cells of the bronchoalveolar junction, 2. The effect of aeroallergens on epithelial PRRs, 3. Role of tight junctions (TJs) in barrier function and how aeroallergens disrupt their function, 4. Induction of mucosal TGF autocrine loops activating type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ICL2s) leading to Th2 polarization, 5. How respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) directs goblet cell hyperplasia, and 6. Coupling of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress to metabolic adaptations and effects on EXPERT OPINION: When aeroallergens or viral infections activate innate immunity in sentinel cells of the bronchoalveolar junction, normal barrier function is disrupted, promoting chronic inflammation and Th2 responses. An improved mechanistic understanding of how activated PRRs induce EMP couples with TJ disruption, metabolic reprogramming and ECM deposition provides new biologically validated targets to restore barrier function, reduce sensitization, and remodeling in AA.
