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

Sepsis-induced acute lung injury is a common clinical disorder in critically ill patients that is associated with high mortality. In this study, we investigated the role of p120-catenin (p120), a constituent of endothelial adherens junctions, in regulating the innate immune function of lungs. In mice in which acute lung injury was induced by i.p. administration of LPS, we observed a rapid decrease in the expression of p120 in lungs. The p120 protein expression was correlated inversely with severity of inflammation. Suppression of p120 expression in lung endothelial cells in mice using small interfering RNA resulted in high sensitivity to endotoxin and greatly increased the mortality compared with controls. Knockdown of p120 also increased the expression of ICAM-1, neutrophil recruitment, production of cytokines TNF-α and IL-6, pulmonary transvascular protein permeability, and lung water content in response to LPS. We demonstrated that endothelial p120 modulates lung innate immune function by interfering with the association of TLR4 with its adaptor MyD88 to block TLR4 signaling and NF-κB activation in endothelial cells. In conclusion, these studies have uncovered a novel innate immune function of endothelial p120 in downregulating the lung inflammatory response to endotoxin through the suppression of TLR4 signaling.
