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

Epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) provides the driving force for the removal of edema from the alveolar spaces in acute lung injury (ALI). Our previous study reported that insulin increased the expression of α‑ENaC, possibly via the serum/glucocorticoid‑inducible kinase‑1 (SGK1) pathway in ALI; however, the upstream regulator of SGK1 activity remains unclear. In the current study, C3H/HeN mice were subjected to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced lung injury without hyperglycemia. Exogenous insulin was administered intravenously using a micro‑osmotic pump, and intratracheal delivery of SGK1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was performed. Furthermore, alveolar epithelial type II cells transfected with phosphatidylinositol 3‑kinase (PI3K) siRNA or SGK1 siRNA were incubated with insulin. Insulin protected the pulmonary epithelial barrier, reduced the apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells, attenuated pulmonary edema, improved alveolar fluid clearance, and increased the expression levels of α‑, β‑ and γ‑ENaC in mice. In addition, in alveolar epithelial cells, insulin increased the expression levels of α‑, β‑ and γ‑ENaC, as well as the level of phosphorylated SGK1, which were then inhibited by the selective targeting of PI3K or SGK1 by siRNA. Taken together, the results of the present study demonstrated that insulin protected the lung epithelium and attenuated pulmonary edema through the upregulation of ENaC via the PI3K/SGK1 pathway in LPS‑induced lung injury.
