Review in American journal of respiratory cell and molecular biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Emerging evidence shows that after injury or infection, the mesenteric lymph acts as a conduit for gut-derived toxic factors to enter the blood circulation, causing systemic inflammation and acute lung injury. Neither the cellular and molecular identity of lymph factors nor their mechanisms of action have been well understood and thus have become a timely topic of investigation. This review will first provide a summary of background knowledge on gut barrier and mesenteric lymphatics, followed by a discussion focusing on the current understanding of potential injurious factors in the lymph and their mechanistic contributions to lung injury. We also examine lymph factors with antiinflammatory properties as well as the bidirectional nature of the gut-lung axis in inflammation.
