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 Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of major causes of death in newborns, making it urgent to improve therapy. Administration of low dose carbon monoxide (CO) plays a protective role in ALI but the mechanisms are not fully understood. This study was designed to test the therapeutic effect of monoxide-releasing molecule 3 (MORM3) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced neonatal ALI and the possibly associated molecular mechanisms. MATERIAL AND METHODS For this study, 3- to 8-day old Newborn Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to intraperitoneal injection of 3 mg/kg LPS to induce ALI. Then animals received intraperitoneal injection of carbon monoxide-releasing molecules 3 (CORM3) (8 mg/kg) or inactive CORM3 (iCORM3) for 7 consecutive days. Lung tissues were collected for histological examination and total cell counts and protein content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured. Expression of Cx43 and necroptosis-related markers were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot. RESULTS LPS exposure induced significant lung injury indicated by histological damage, increased lung wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) and increased total cell counts and protein concentration in BALF. These changes were significantly ameliorated by administration of CORM3 but not iCORM3. LPS also increased necroptosis-related markers RIP1, RIP3, and MLKL and their elevation was blocked by CORM3. CORM3 administration ameliorated LPS induced elevation of Cx43 expression and adenoviral overexpression of Cx43 abolished lung protective effect of CORM3. CORM3 administration attenuated LPS induced activation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and its protection against necroptosis was abolished by ERK inhibitor U0126. CONCLUSIONS CORM3 attenuates LPS-Induced ALI in neonatal rats and its lung protective effect might be through downregulation of Cx43 to attenuate ERK signaling and ameliorate necroptosis, suggesting CORM3 as a potential therapeutic drug for ALI in neonates.
