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

Retinoids are potent transcriptional regulators that act in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and other cellular processes. We carried out studies in male mice to establish the importance of local cellular retinoid stores within the lung alveolus for maintaining its health in the face of an acute inflammatory challenge induced by intranasal instillation of lipopolysaccharide. We also undertook single cell RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analyses to identify roles for different alveolar cell populations involved in mediating these retinoid-dependent responses. Here we show that local retinoid stores and uncompromised metabolism and signaling within the lung are required to lessen the severity of an acute inflammatory challenge. Unexpectedly, our data also establish that alveolar cells other than lipofibroblasts, specifically microvascular endothelial and alveolar epithelial cells, are able to take up lipoprotein-transported retinoid and to accumulate cellular retinoid stores that are directly used to respond to an acute inflammatory challenge.
