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

Smoke inhalation associated with structural fires, wildfires, or explosions leads to lung injury, for which innovative and clinically relevant animal models are needed to develop effective therapeutics. We have previously reported that damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and anti-inflammatory cytokines correlate with infectious complications in patients diagnosed with inhalational injury. In this study, we describe a novel and translational murine model of acute inhalational injury characterized by an accumulation of protein and neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar space, as well as histological evidence of tissue damage. Mice were anesthetized, and a cannula was placed in the trachea and exposed to smoldering plywood smoke three times for 2-min intervals in a smoke chamber. Here we demonstrate that this model recapitulates clinically relevant phenotypes, including early release of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), IL-10, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, and CXCL1 along with neutrophilia early after injury, accompanied by subsequent susceptibility to opportunistic infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Further investigation of the model, and in turn a reanalysis of patient samples, revealed a late release of the DAMP hyaluronic acid (HA) from the lung. Using nitric oxide synthase-deficient mice, we found that Nos2 was required for increases in IL-10, MCP-1, and HA following injury but not release of dsDNA, CXCL1 expression, early neutrophilia, or susceptibility to opportunistic infection. Depletion of CXCL1 attenuated early neutrophil recruitment, leading to decreased histopathology scores and improved bacterial clearance in this model of smoke inhalation. Together, these data highlight the potential therapeutic benefit of attenuating neutrophil recruitment in the first 24 h after injury in patients.
