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 the most common chronic lung disorder in the United States. While asthma is heterogeneous, blood eosinophils are central to the pathogenesis in most cases. Yet, the power of modern omics has not been widely applied to the study of asthma eosinophils. We report single cell RNA sequencing of blood eosinophils obtained from patients with severe asthma, mild asthma, and healthy volunteers. The eosinophils from asthma patients showed marked heterogeneity in the population and, as with healthy controls, clustered into 3 subsets suggesting at least 3 gene expression states circulating in the blood. Eosinophils from asthma patients had an inflammatory gene signature with enrichment of interferon α and γ pathways. Moreover, a greater fraction of these eosinophils expressed CCR3, the chemokine receptor that mediates trafficking to inflamed tissues and activates eosinophils. Our data support implementation of larger studies to define the transcriptional drivers of asthma.
