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

A better understanding of the pathogenesis of distinct chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) phenotypes will improve diagnostic and therapeutic options for this common disease. We present evidence that sphingolipids such as ceramides are involved in the emphysema pathogenesis. Whereas distinct ceramide species cause cell death by apoptosis and necroptosis, cell adaptation leads to accumulation of other sphingolipid metabolites that extend cell survival by triggering autophagy. Cigarette smoke-released sphingolipids have been involved in both the initiation and persistence of lung injury via intracellular signaling and paracrine effects mediated via exosomes and plasma membrane-bound microparticles. Strategies to control sphingolipid metabolite production may promote cellular repair and maintenance to treat COPD.
