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

backgroundSeawater drowning is the major cause of accidental injury and death. The current treatment could not essentially block the source of the damage due to the complex etiology. Therefore, it is urgent to clarify the detailed mechanisms and find effective therapeutic approaches.

methodsWe performed

resultsIn this study, we found that seawater drowning induced mitochondria damage, which further accelerated epithelial cell apoptosis and repressed cell proliferation. Administration of ghrelin attenuated the mitochondria damage via reducing ROS generation, decreasing the concentration of calcium ion and ceremide, and promoting ATP production. Besides, exogenous ghrelin also rescued the cell survival inhibited by seawater simulants. Mechanically, ghrelin retrieved the influence of seawater via inhibiting NF-κB signaling activation, and agonist of NF-κB could offset the function of ghrelin. Besides, ghrelin reduced the expression of inflammatory factors and chemokines responsible for neutrophils activation and recruitment, by which ghrelin suppressed the immune response. The further

conclusionsOur study revealed the dual effect of ghrelin on seawater drowning induced lung injury via damage protection and immune repression, providing new insights into drowning injury pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies.
