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

Intestinal ischemia and reperfusion (II/R) injury often triggers severe injury in remote organs, with the lungs being considered the main target. Excessive elevation of proinflammatory cytokines is a major contributor in the occurrence and development of II/R‑induced acute lung injury (ALI). Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate whether blocking tumor necrosis factor‑α (TNF‑α) expression could protect the lungs from injury following II/R, and to explore the possible underlying mechanism involving interleukin‑10 (IL‑10). Briefly, II/R was induced in rats by 40 min occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery and celiac artery, followed by 8, 16 or 24 h of reperfusion. Subsequently, lentiviral vectors containing TNF‑α short hairpin (sh)RNA were injected into the right lung tissues, in order to induce TNF‑α knockdown. The severity of ALI was determined according to lung injury scores and lung edema (lung wet/dry weight ratio). The expression levels of TNF‑α were analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), western blotting and immunofluorescence (IF) staining. IL‑10 expression, in response to TNF‑α knockdown, was detected in lung tissues by qPCR and IF. The results detected marked inflammatory responses, and increased levels of lung wet/dry weight ratio and TNF‑α expression, in the lungs of II/R rats. Conversely, treatment with TNF‑α shRNA significantly alleviated the severity of ALI and upregulated the expression levels of IL‑10 in lung tissues. These findings suggested that TNF‑α RNA interference may exert a protective effect on II/R‑induced ALI via the upregulation of IL‑10. Therefore, TNF‑α knockdown may be considered a potential strategy for the prevention or treatment of ALI induced by II/R in future clinical trials.
