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

The immunologic responses that occur early in the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) elicit immune-mediated damage. The mechanisms underlying the resolution of ARDS, particularly the role of signaling molecules in regulating immune cell kinetics, remain important questions. Th1-mediated responses can contribute to the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI). Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) orchestrates early inflammatory events, enhancing immune-mediated damage. The current study investigated IFN-γ during resolution in several experimental models of ALI. The absence of IFN-γ resulted in altered kinetics of lymphocyte and macrophage responses, suggesting that IFN-γ present in this microenvironment is influential in ALI resolution. Genetic deficiency of IFN-γ or administering neutralizing IFN-γ antibodies accelerated the pace of resolution. Neutralizing IFN-γ decreased the numbers of interstitial and inflammatory macrophages and increased alveolar macrophage numbers during resolution. Our results underline the complexity of lung injury resolution and provide insight into the effects through which altered IFN-γ concentrations affect immune cell kinetics and the rate of resolution. These findings suggest that therapies that spatially or temporally control IFN-γ signaling may promote ALI resolution. Identifying and elucidating the mechanisms critical to ALI resolution will allow the development of therapeutic approaches to minimize collateral tissue damage without adversely altering the response to injury.
