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

Mechanical ventilation with high tidal volumes has been associated with pulmonary alveolar flooding. Understanding the mechanisms underlying cyclic stretch-induced increases in alveolar epithelial permeability may be important in designing preventive measures for acute lung injury. In this work, we assessed whether cyclic stretch leads to the generation of reactive oxygen species in type I-like alveolar epithelial cells, which increase monolayer permeability via activation of NF-κB and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). We cyclically stretched type I-like rat primary alveolar epithelial cells at magnitudes of 12, 25, and 37% change in surface area (ΔSA) for 10 to 120 minutes. High levels of reactive oxygen species and of superoxide and NO specifically were detected in cells stretched at 37% ΔSA for 10 to 120 minutes. Exogenous superoxide and NO stimulation increased epithelial permeability in unstretched cells, which was preventable by the NF-κB inhibitor MG132. The cyclic stretch-induced increase in permeability was decreased by the superoxide scavenger tiron and by MG132. Furthermore, tiron had a dramatic protective effect on in vivo lung permeability under mechanical ventilation conditions. Cyclic stretch increased the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway, which was significantly decreased with the ERK inhibitor U0126. Altogether, our in vitro and in vivo data demonstrate the sensitivity of permeability to stretch- and ventilation-induced superoxide production, suggesting that using antioxidants may be helpful in the prevention and treatment of ventilator-induced lung injury.
