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

backgroundAcute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by an acute inflammatory process, and oxidative stress in the lung tissue leads to a lack of effective therapeutics. This study aimed to identify whether the overexpression of transcription factor EB (TFEB) regulates mitophagy to protect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI.

methodsWe detected the expression of inflammatory factors, cytochrome c (Cyt.c) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and autophagy-related proteins and observed the changes in lung histopathology induced by ALI in rats and the changes in the cell ultrastructure of primary alveolar type II epithelial cells induced by changing the expression of TFEB in the context of ALI.

resultsThe overexpression of TFEB could reduce the expression of proinflammatory factors, such as IL-1 and IL-6, and increase the expression of anti-inflammatory factors, such as IL-10, both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, the overexpression of TFEB could reduce the Cyt.c and NADPH levels both in vivo and in vitro. The overexpression of TFEB could upregulate the expression of autophagy-related proteins, such as lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1), microtubule-associated protein light chain 3B (LC3B), and Beclin both in vivo and in vitro, and promote mitochondrial autophagy. The overexpression of TFEB significantly improved the histopathologic changes induced by LPS-induced ALI in rats. However, low TFEB expression produced the opposite results.

conclusionTFEB overexpression can decrease inflammation and mitochondrial damage in the lung tissue and alveolar epithelial cells through regulating mitochondrial autophagy to protect against LPS-induced ALI. Therefore, TFEB is likely a potential therapeutic target in LPS-induced ALI.
