Lung development and immune status under chronic LPS exposure in rat pups with and without CD26/DPP4 deficiency.
Article in Cell and tissue research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (CD26), a multifactorial integral type II protein, is expressed in the lungs during development and is involved in inflammation processes. We tested whether daily LPS administration influences the CD26-dependent retardation in morphological lung development and induces alterations in the immune status. Newborn Fischer rats with and without CD26 deficiency were nebulized with 1 µg LPS/2 ml NaCl for 10 min from days postpartum (dpp) 3 to 9. We used stereological methods and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) to determine morphological lung maturation and alterations in the pulmonary leukocyte content on dpp 7, 10, and 14. Daily LPS application did not change the lung volume but resulted in a significant retardation of alveolarization in both substrains proved by significantly lower values of septal surface and volume as well as higher mean free distances in airspaces. Looking at the immune status after LPS exposure compared to controls, a significantly higher percentage of B lymphocytes and decrease of CD4
