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

Acute ethanol intoxication increases the risk of sepsis and aggravates the symptoms of sepsis and lung injury. Therefore, this study aimed to explore whether sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1)/sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)/S1P receptor 1 (S1PR1) signaling pathway functions in lung injury caused by acute ethanol intoxication-enhanced sepsis, as well as its underlying mechanism. The acute ethanol intoxication model was simulated by intraperitoneally administering mice with 32% ethanol solution, and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was used to construct the sepsis model. The lung tissue damage was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining, and the wet-to-dry (W/D) ratio was used to evaluate the degree of pulmonary edema. Inflammatory cell counting and protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were, respectively, detected by hemocytometer and bicinchoninic acid (BCA) method. The levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and IL-18 in BALF were detected by their commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. The myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and expression of apoptosis-related proteins and SphK1/S1P/S1PR1 pathway-related proteins were, respectively, analyzed by MPO ELISA kit and Western blot analysis. The cell apoptosis in lung tissues was observed by TUNEL assay. Acute ethanol intoxication (EtOH) decreased the survival rate of mice and exacerbated the lung injury caused by sepsis through increasing pulmonary vascular permeability, neutrophil infiltration, release of inflammatory factors, and cell apoptosis. In addition, EtOH could activate the SphK1/S1P/S1PR1 pathway in CLP mice. However, PF-543, as a specific inhibitor of SphK1, could partially reverse the deleterious effects on lung injury of CLP mice. PF-543 alleviated lung injury caused by sepsis in acute ethanol intoxication rats by suppressing the SphK1/S1P/S1PR1 signaling pathway.
