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

purposeSphingolipids play a crucial role in pulmonary development. The sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) modulates the synthesis of sphingolipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). S1P regulates cell proliferation and angiogenesis via different receptors, S1P1, S1P2 and S1P3, which all influence the expression of Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1). We designed this study to test the hypothesis that the S1P/Rac1 pathway is altered in the nitrofen-induced CDH model.

methodsPregnant rats received nitrofen or vehicle on D9. On D21, fetuses were killed and divided into nitrofen and control group (n = 12). QRT-PCR, western blotting and confocal-immunofluorescence microscopy were performed to reveal pulmonary gene and protein expression levels of SphK1, S1P1, S1P2, S1P3 and Rac1.

resultsPulmonary gene expression of S1P1 and Rac1 was significantly increased in the CDH group compared to controls, whereas S1P2 and S1P3 expression was decreased. These results were confirmed by western blotting and confocal microscopy. SphK1 expression was not found to be altered.

conclusionThe increased expression of S1P1 and Rac1 in the pulmonary vasculature of nitrofen-induced CDH lungs suggests that S1P1 and Rac1 are important mediators of PH in this model.
