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) usually causes acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), or even death in critical ill patients. Immune cell infiltration in inflamed lungs is an important hallmark of ARDS. Macrophages are a type of immune cell that participate in the entire pathogenic trajectory of ARDS and most prominently via their interactions with lung alveolar epithelial cells (AECs). In the early stage of ARDS, classically activated macrophages secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines to clearance of the pathogens which may damage alveolar AECs cell structure and result in cell death. Paradoxically, in late stage of ARDS, anti-inflammatory cytokines secreted by alternatively activated macrophages dampen the inflammation response and promote epithelial regeneration and alveolar structure remodeling. In this review, we discuss the important role of macrophages and AECs in the progression of ARDS.
