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

Terpinen-4-ol, the major constituent of tea tree oil, has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effect. However, whether terpinen-4-ol could attenuate LPS-induced inflammation in lung tissues remains unclear. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the protective effects of terpinen-4-ol on LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice. Terpinen-4-ol could inhibit LPS-induced ALI as confirmed by the decreased lung histopathological changes, MPO activity, and lung W/D ratio caused by terpinen-4-ol. The production of TNF-α and IL-1β in the BALF was suppressed by the treatment of terpinen-4-ol. Western blot analysis showed that terpinen-4-ol significantly attenuated LPS-induced phosphorylation of IκBα and NF-κB p65. Furthermore, the expression of PPAR-γ was dose-dependently upregulated by the treatment of terpinen-4-ol. In conclusion, the results of this study indicated that terpinen-4-ol inhibited LPS-induced ALI via activating PPAR-γ, which subsequently attenuated LPS-induced NF-κB activation and inflammatory response.
