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

Endothelial barrier dysfunction (EBD) is the hallmark of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a potentially lethal respiratory disorder associated with the COVID-19 - related deaths. Herein, we employed a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) murine model of sepsis, to evaluate the effects of sepsis-induced EBD in the expression of the never in mitosis A (NIMA)-related kinases (NEKs). Members of that family of kinases regulate the activity and expression of the tumor suppressor P53, previously shown to modulate the actin cytoskeleton remodeling. Our results introduce the induction of NEK2, NEK3, NEK4, NEK7, and NEK9 in a CLP model of sepsis. Hence, we suggest that NEKs are involved in inflammatory processes and are holding the potential to serve as novel therapeutic targets for pathologies related to EBD, including ARDS and sepsis. Further studies will delineate the underlying molecular events and their interrelations with P53.
