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

Indirect acute lung injury (ALI) is a common manifestation in critically ill patients. Using a model of indirect ALI in mice, our laboratory has shown that local/pulmonary inhibition of extrinsic death receptor protein (Fas) leads to a decrease in lung inflammation and improved survival. However, it is unknown if local, i.e., autocrine/paracrine, inhibition of Fas ligand (FasL) affects Fas-expressing target cells itself or blockade of the actions of a more distal/endocrine source of FasL that accounts for these findings. To examine this, we used a model of indirect ALI in mice (dual insult of hemorrhagic shock followed 24 h later by cecal ligation and puncture, in which animals received FasL small interfering RNA (siRNA) intratracheally (local silencing) or intravenously (systemic/distal delivery) after hemorrhage. After intratracheal delivery of FasL siRNA, there was a significant decrease in inflammatory cytokines, myeloperoxidase activity, and caspase 3 activity in lung tissue along with protein leak as compared with controls. There was no difference found in these various outcome markers between those treated with intravenously administered FasL siRNA versus controls. The observation that local silencing of FasL, as opposed to distal/systemic silencing, ameliorates the effects of indirect ALI suggests not only that FasL produced in an autocrine/paracrine fashion in local tissues has pathological consequences within the lungs, but also that FasL might be a valuable pulmonary therapeutic target.
