Protective Effect of an Anti-HMGB-1 Neutralizing Antibody on Hemozoin-Induced Alveolar Epithelial Cell in a Model of Malaria Associated ALI/ARDS.
Article in Iranian journal of parasitology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWe aimed to determine whether neutralizing high mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1) prevents the release of HMGB-1 and proinflammatory cytokines on hemozoin (Hz)-induced alveolar epithelial cell in a model of malaria associated ALI/ARDS.
methodsThis study was conducted in the Department of Tropical Pathology, Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand in 2020. Human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells (HPAEpiCs) were exposed to medium alone or 20 μM Hz for 24 h and incubated with different concentrations (1, 5, and 10 μg/ml) of anti-HMGB-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) for various times (0, 4, 12, 24, and 48 h). The levels of HMGB-1, TNF-α and IFN-γ in the supernatants were measured by ELISA. The mRNA expression of RAGE, TLR-2 and TLR-4 were analyzed by real-time PCR.
resultsThe HPAEpiCs treated with 10 μg/ml anti-HMGB-1 mAb showed a significant reduction in HMGB-1 release into the supernatant compared with those treated with 1 and 5 μg/ml anti-HMGB-1 mAb. The levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ were significantly decreased in the supernatant of HPAEpiCs treated with 1, 5, and 10 μg/ml anti-HMGB-1 mAb for 4, 12, 24, and 48 h compared with those stimulated with Hz alone. The mRNA expression levels of RAGE, TLR-2, and TLR-4 were significantly decreased after 24 h of anti-HMGB-1 antibody treatment at all concentrations.
conclusionAn anti-HMGB-1 antibody could be an effective agent for inhibiting the release of HMGB-1, TNF-α and IFN-γ. Furthermore, a neutralizing anti-HMGB-1 antibody could be applicable for the treatment of malaria-associated ALI/ARDS.
