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

Extracellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS) released from bacteria cells can enter the bloodstream and cause septic complications with excessive host inflammatory responses. Target-specific strategies to inactivate inflammation mediators have largely failed to improve the prognosis of septic patients in clinical trials. By utilizing their high density of positive charges, de novo designed peptide nanonets are shown to selectively entrap the negatively charged LPS and pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). This in turn enables the nanonets to suppress LPS-induced cytokine production by murine macrophage cell line and rescue the antimicrobial activity of the last-resort antibiotic, colistin, from LPS binding. Using an acute lung injury model in mice, it is demonstrated that intratracheal administration of the fibrillating peptides is effective at lowering local release of TNF-α and IL-6. Together with previously shown ability to simultaneously trap and kill pathogenic bacteria, the peptide nanonets display remarkable potential as a holistic, multifunctional anti-infective, and anti-septic biomaterial.
