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

Acacetin, a natural product, has a wide spectrum of biological activities such as antioxidant properties. In the present study, we examined whether Acacetin has any beneficial role on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and, if so, whether its effect is mediated via heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), an antioxidant enzyme playing an important role in ALI. Male BALB/c mice were stimulated with LPS intratracheal instillation to induce ALI. Acacetin was administrated 2 h after LPS challenge. Samples were harvested 10 h after LPS administration. We demonstrated that LPS challenge significantly induced lung histological alterations such as inflammation and edema. Acacetin administration notably attenuated these changes and reduced tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β in lung tissues. The LPS-induced reactive oxygen species generation was markedly suppressed by Acacetin. Furthermore, Acacetin treatment significantly elevated pulmonary HO-1 and nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activities. However, the beneficial action of Acacetin was markedly abolished when pretreated with zinc protoporphyrin, an inhibitor of HO-1. In in vitro studies, Acacetin notably increased the HO-1 expression in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells. During knockdown of Nrf2 by siRNA, the effect of Acacetin on HO-1 expression was significantly reversed. Acacetin attenuates LPS-induced ALI in mice. This protective effect of Acacetin may be mediated, in part, through an HO-1-dependent pathway.
