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

introductionThe CHRNA7 gene encodes the α-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAchR) that regulates anti-inflammatory responses to injury; however, only humans express a variant gene called CHRFAM7A that alters the function of α7nAChR; CHRFAM7A expression predominates in bone marrow and monocytes/macrophages where the CHRFAM7A/CHRNA7 ratio is highly variable between individuals. We have previously shown in transgenic mice that CHRFAM7A increased emergency myelopoiesis from the bone marrow and monocyte/macrophage expression in lungs. MATERIALS AND

methodsCHRFAM7A transgenic mice are compared to age- and gender-matched wild-type (WT) siblings. We utilized a model of sepsis using LPS injection to measure survival. Lung vascular permeability was measured after severe burn injury in WT vs. CHRFAM7A transgenic mice. Bone marrow CHRFAM7A expression was evaluated using adoptive transfer of CHRFAM7A transgenic bone marrow into WT mice.

resultsHere, we demonstrate that CHRFAM7A expression results in an anti-inflammatory phenotype with an improved survival to LPS and decreased acute lung injury in a severe cutaneous burn model compared to WT.

conclusionsThese data suggest that the relative expression of CHRFAM7A may alter resiliency to injury and contribute to individual variability in the human systemic inflammatory response (SIRS) to injury.
