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

objectiveIncreased expression of long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) has been found in patients with sepsis or acute respiratory distress syndrome. Tissue factor (TF) activation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury. The present study sought to determine the relationship between PTX3 expression and TF activation in acute lung injury.

methodsLung injury was induced by intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice, and the PTX3 expression, TF activation and lung injury were determined. We also treated the lung injury with an anti-human tissue factor monoclonal antibody in human tissue factor knock-in (hTF-KI) mice.

resultsBalb/c mice were challenged with increasing doses of LPS. After 24 h, PTX3 protein in the bronchioalveolar lavage fluid was increased in parallel with the severity of lung injury, and correlated with tissue factor (TF) activity. The expression and distribution of PTX3 and TF were further documented in detail 6 h after LPS (5 mg/kg) instillation. Treatment with anti-human TF monoclonal antibody dramatically attenuated LPS-induced lung injury, alveolar fibrin deposition and inflammatory cell infiltration in"humanized" hTF-KI mice 6 h after LPS challenge. The PTX3 expression was significantly decreased by the anti-coagulant therapy.

conclusionThese results support the clinical finding that PTX3 may be a useful biomarker to the reflect severity of lung injury and provide effective therapies. The interplay between PTX3 and TF could be a potential mechanism that mediates lung injury.
