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

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common complication of sepsis. Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), an enzyme involved in aldehyde metabolism, exerts a protective effect against sepsis. This study investigated the possible mechanisms underlying the roles of ALDH2, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis in sepsis-induced lung injury. A mouse model of sepsis-induced lung injury was established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP); lung morphology was evaluated by calculation of lung coefficient, hematoxylin-eosin staining, and electron microscopy. Malondialdehyde (MDA), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) protein expression levels were used to detect the level of lipid oxidative stress. In addition, total iron was detected using an iron detection kit, and the expression of ferroptosis-related proteins (PTGS2, GPX4), pyroptosis-related proteins, and ALDH2 was examined using western blotting. To further examine the likely mechanisms, the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin 1 (Fer-1), NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor MCC950, and ALDH2 activator Alda-1 were added. CLP-treated mice exhibited destruction of lung tissue morphology, lipid peroxidation injury, iron content, and increased lung PTGS2 protein expression, accompanied by a decrease in GPX4 protein expression. CLP also downregulated ALDH2 expression and increased the expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis-related proteins. These adverse effects of CLP were relieved by Alda-1, Fer-1, and MCC950 treatment. In conclusion, both pyroptosis and ferroptosis participate in CLP-induced ALI, and ALDH2 plays a protective role by reducing pyroptosis and ferroptosis. This study provides a scientific basis for the treatment of lung injury in sepsis.
