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

Objectives: Previous studies have shown that ulinastatin (UTI) alleviates pulmonary edema in acute lung injury (ALI) caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), although the mechanism behind this action is uncertain. This research aimed to identify the fundamental mechanism by which UTI alleviates pulmonary edema. Materials and Methods: We established a model of acute lung injury (ALI) in rats by using LPS as the inciting agent.The control, LPS, and LPS+UTI groups were each comprised of a specific number of randomly selected Wistar rats. We evaluated lung injury and determined pulmonary edema. The concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in BALF and the expression levels of α1Na, k-ATPase, β1Na, K-AtPase, α-ENaC, β-ENaC, γ-ENaC, Zonula occludens (ZO)-1, Occludin, Caludin-5, PI3K, Akt, TLR4, MyD88 and NF-ƘBwere identified in lung tissues. Results: The presence of UTI was associated with a reduction in lung pathological alterations, lung injury scores, the lung W/D ratio, and MPO activity, in addition to the improved gas exchange (P<0.01). Furthermore, UTI alleviated EB leakage and stimulated AFC ( Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that UTI attenuated pulmonary edema by reducing pulmonary permeability and promoting AFC through inhibiting the inflammatory response, and the mechanism is related to promoting PI3K/Akt signaling pathways and suppressing TLR4/MyD88/NF-ƘB signaling pathways.
