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

Pneumonia is frequently associated with sepsis, characterized by a nonresolving hyperinflammation. However, specific host components of the pulmonary milieu that regulate the perpetuation of inflammation and tissue destruction observed in this immune disorder are not clearly understood. We examined the function of Clec4d, an orphan mammalian CLR, in Gram negative pneumonic sepsis caused by KPn. Whereas the WT mice infected with a sublethal dose of bacteria could resolve the infection, the Clec4d(-/-) mice were highly susceptible with a progressive increase in bacterial burden, hyperinflammatory response typical of sepsis, and severe lung pathology. This correlated with a massive accumulation of neutrophils in lungs of infected Clec4d(-/-) mice, which was in contrast with their WT counterparts, where neutrophils transiently infiltrated the lungs. Interestingly, the Clec4d(-/-) neutrophils did not exhibit any defect in bacterial clearance. These results suggest that Clec4d plays an important role in resolution of inflammation, possibly by facilitating neutrophil turnover in lungs. This is the first report depicting the physiological function of Clec4d in a pathological condition. The results can have implications not only in sepsis but also in other inflammatory diseases, where nonresolving inflammation is the root cause of disease development.
