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

Acyloxyacyl hydrolase (AOAH) is an unusual but highly conserved lipase, previously described only in myeloid cells, that removes secondary fatty acyl chains from bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and may also act on various glycero(phospho)lipids. Deacylation by AOAH greatly reduces the ability of LPS to stimulate cells via CD14-MD-2-Toll-like receptor 4. We report here that renal cortical tubule cells produce AOAH and secrete it into urine, where it can deacylate LPS. In vitro studies revealed that proximal tubule cells secrete pro-AOAH, which can be taken up by bladder cells and processed to the heterodimeric, more enzymatically active, mature form of AOAH. AOAH can then be used by the recipient cells to deacylate LPS. The enzyme produced by proximal tubule epithelium may thus be shared with downstream cells. In addition, mature AOAH is found in the urine. We suggest that cortical tubule cells may produce and secrete AOAH to limit inflammatory responses to gram-negative bacteria throughout the urinary tract.
