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

objectiveHigh mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) has been reported to be involved in influenza A virus-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We studied the efficacy of an anti-HMGB1 mAb using an in vitro model of TNF-α stimulation or influenza A virus infection in human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs).

methodsVascular permeability of HMVECs was quantified using the Boyden chamber assay under tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) stimulation or influenza A virus infection in the presence of anti-HMGB1 mAb or control mAb. The intracellular localization of HMGB1 was assessed by immunostaining. Extracellular cytokine concentrations and intracellular viral mRNA expression were quantified by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and quantitative reverse transcription PCR, respectively.

resultsVascular permeability was increased by TNF-α stimulation or influenza A infection; HMVECs became elongated and the intercellular gaps were extended. Anti-HMGB1 mAb suppressed both the increase in permeability and the cell morphology changes. Translocation of HMGB1 to the cytoplasm was observed in the non-infected cells. Although anti-HMGB1 mAb did not suppress viral replication, it did suppress cytokine production in HMVECs.

conclusionAnti-HMGB1 mAb might be an effective therapy for severe influenza ARDS.
