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

BACKGROUND As a member of short-chain fatty acids, acetate exhibits anti-inflammatory capacity. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of acetate on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and explored its underlying mechanism. MATERIAL AND METHODS Acetate (250 mM, 400 µL) was given intraperitoneally 30 minutes after LPS (5 mg/kg) intratracheal injection. Lung tissues and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected 6 hours after the challenge of LPS. The histopathology scores, wet-to-dry weight ratios, protein content, and cytokine levels in BALF were assessed. RESULTS The acetate treatment resulted in improved lung pathological score, alleviated LPS-induced microvascular permeability, and suppressed the production of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, acetate decreased the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in the lungs and BALF, consistent with the declined immune cell counting found in BALF. In addition, phosphorylation levels of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in lung tissues were downregulated by acetate. CONCLUSIONS These results suggested that acetate exerts its protective effects via anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities on LPS-induced ALI.
