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

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is well known for regulating glucose homeostasis, exhibits multiple actions in cardiovascular disorders and renal injury. However, little is known about the effect of GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) activation on acute lung injury (ALI). In this study, we investigated the effect of GLP-1R on ALI and the potential underlying mechanisms with the selective agonist liraglutide. Our results show that GLP-1 levels decreased in serum, though they increased in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissue in a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI. Liraglutide prevented LPS-induced polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) extravasation, lung injury, and alveolar-capillary barrier dysfunction. In cultured human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMECs), liraglutide protected against LPS-induced endothelial barrier injury by restoring intercellular tight junctions and adherens junctions. Moreover, liraglutide prevented PMN-endothelial adhesion by inhibiting the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and thereafter suppressed PMN transendothelial migration. Furthermore, liraglutide suppressed LPS-induced activation of Rho/NF-κB signaling in HPMECs. In conclusion, our results show that GLP-1R activation protects mice from LPS-induced ALI by maintaining functional endothelial barrier and inhibiting PMN extravasation. These results also suggest that GLP-1R may be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of ALI.
