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

objectiveTo investigate the roles of macrophage stimulating protein (MSP) and its tyrosine kinase receptor RON in smoke-induced airway inflammation of rats.

methodsInhalation of combustion smoke was administered in rats to induce airway inflammation. Alveolar macrophages (AM) of healthy and smoking rats were isolated at different time points, cultured and then treated with different concentrations of MSP for 24 h.

resultsWhen compared with healthy rats, MSP increased in the serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of smoking rats in a time dependent manner. In smoking rats, the RON expression in the lung and AM was higher than in healthy rats, and these increases were time dependent. MSP stimulated the production of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in rat AM cells in a dose dependent manner. MSP also stimulated the release of inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-8, IL-1β and IL-10 in rat AM in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, at the same MSP concentration, the contents of MDA, TNF-α, IL-8 and IL-1β in the AM of smoking rates were higher than in healthy rats, while the IL-10 content and SOD activity were lower than in healthy rats.

conclusionMSP and its receptor RON are involved in the smoke-induced airway inflammation in rats via promoting AM to release inflammatory cytokines and inducing the increase of oxygen free radical.
