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

Objective: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a life-threatening complication during sepsis and contributes to multiple organ failure and high mortality for septic patients. The present study aims to investigate the role and molecular basis of growth differentiation factor 7 (GDF7) in sepsis-induced ALI. Methods: Mice were subcutaneously injected with recombinant mouse GDF7 Protein (rmGDF7) and then intratracheally injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to generate sepsis-induced ALI. Primary peritoneal macrophages were isolated to further evaluate the role and underlying mechanism of GDF7 in vitro. Results: GDF7 was downregulated in LPS-stimulated lung tissues, and rmGDF7 treatment significantly inhibited inflammation and oxidative stress in ALI mice, thereby preventing LPS-induced pulmonary injury and dysfunction. Mechanistically, we found that rmGDF7 activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and AMPK inhibition significantly blocked the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of rmGDF7 during LPS-induced ALI. Further findings revealed that rmGDF7 activated AMPK through a downregulated stimulator of interferon gene (STING) in vivo and in vitro. Conclusion: GDF7 prevents LPS-induced inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and ALI by regulating the STING/AMPK pathway. Our findings for the first time identify GDF7 as a potential agent for the treatment of sepsis-induced ALI.
