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

MicroRNA (miRNA) mediates RNA interference to regulate a variety of innate immune processes, but how miRNAs coordinate the mechanisms underlying acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) in patients with pulmonary inflammatory injury is still unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that miR-223 limits the number of Ly6G+ neutrophils and inhibits the activity of the NLRP3 inflammasome to alleviate ALI induced by mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) (MTDs). miR-223 expression is increased in the lungs of MTD-induced mice or ARDS patients following trauma/transfusion or following the physiological remission of ALI/ARDS. miR-223-/+ mice exhibited more severe ALI and cytokine dysregulation. Other studies have shown that MTD-induced increases in miR-223 expression are mainly contributed by Ly6G+ neutrophils from the haematopoietic system. miR-223 blocks bone marrow-derived Ly6G+ neutrophil differentiation and inhibits peripheral cytokine release. In addition, MTD-induced miR-223 expression activates a negative feedback pathway that targets the inhibition of NLRP3 expression and IL-1β release; therefore, miR-223 deficiency can lead to the sustained activation of NLRP3-IL-1β. Finally, elimination of peripheral Ly6G+ neutrophils and pharmacological blockade of the miR-223-NLRP3-IL-1β signalling axis could alleviate MTD-induced ALI. In summary, miR-223 is essential for regulating the pathogenesis of DAMP-induced ALI.
