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

objectiveInflammation is the primary mechanism of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) and neurologic factors can regulate inflammatory immune responses. Netrin-1 is an axonal guidance molecule, but whether Netrin-1 plays a role in LIRI remains unclear.

methodsA mouse model of LIRI was established. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect expression of Netrin-1 and to enumerate macrophages and T cells in lung tissue. The proportion of regulatory T cells (Tregs) was assessed by flow cytometry. Levels of apoptosis were assessed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end staining.

resultsNumbers of macrophages and T cells in the lung tissues of mice with LIRI were elevated, while expression of netrin-1 was significantly decreased. Flow cytometry showed that the proportion of Tregs in mice with LIRI was significantly decreased. The proportion of Tregs among lymphocytes was positively correlated with netrin-1 expression.

conclusionNetrin-1 reduced LIRI by increasing the proportion of Tregs.
