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

The mechanisms behind the loss of epithelial barrier function leading to alveolar flooding in acute lung injury (ALI) are incompletely understood. We hypothesized that the tyrosine kinase receptor human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) would be activated in an inflammatory setting and participate in ALI. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) exposure resulted in HER2 activation in human epithelial cells and markedly increased conductance across a monolayer of airway epithelial cells. Upon HER2 blockade, conductance changes were significantly decreased. Mechanistic studies revealed that HER2 trans-activation by IL-1β required a disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17)-dependent shedding of the ligand neuregulin-1 (NRG-1). In murine models of ALI, NRG-1-HER2 signaling was activated, and ADAM17 blockade resulted in decreased NRG-1 shedding, HER2 activation, and lung injury in vivo. Finally, NRG-1 was detectable and elevated in pulmonary edema fluid from patients with ALI. These results suggest that the ADAM17-NRG-1-HER2 axis modulates the alveolar epithelial barrier and contributes to the pathophysiology of ALI.
