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.

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.

Abstract

It is with great pleasure that I write this foreword and introduction to this Special Issue dedicated to the protective actions of the pro-resolving mediators and edited by my colleague Dr. Jesmond Dalli. Many of my collaborators and colleagues that helped to uncover the actions and clinical potential of the resolvins and other specialized proresolving mediators (SPM), namely, the superfamily of pro-resolving mediators that includes the resolvin (E-series, D-series and DPA-derived), protectin and maresin families, as well as the arachidonic acid-derived lipoxins, join me in this special issue. They have given contributions that present exciting new results on the remarkable actions and potency of these unique molecules, the SPM moving forward the importance of their mediators and pathways in human biology. Each contribution to this issue is presented by world authorities in their respective fields covering discoveries that demonstrate the importance and impact of resolution mediators in biology, medicine and surgery. While some of the authors were students and/or fellows with me and others, they are today the founding "resolutionists" of a new era of appreciation of autacoid biosynthesis and metabolomics in human health and disease with their rigorous attention to experimental detail and discovery. The chapters of this issue are filled with exciting new discoveries demonstrating the dynamics and potential of resolution mediators.
