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

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an essential role in macrophage polarization. However, the adverse effects of ROS reduction by influencing epigenetics are often ignored. In this study, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to stimulate macrophages to increase the ROS in cells, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) was used to reduce ROS. Inflammatory factors such as interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were used to evaluate the M1 polarization level of macrophages. Chip was used to detect the tri-methylation at lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27me3) level at the promoter site. It was found that the decrease of ROS in macrophages would also cause the increase of the H3K27me3 demethylase KDM6A and lead to the reduction of H3K27me3 in the NOX2 promoter, which would increase the transcription level of NOX2 and the production of ROS and ultimately promote the production of inflammatory factors. Knockout of KDM6A can reduce the transcription of NOX2 and the production of ROS of macrophages, thus preventing the M1 polarization of macrophages. The elimination of ROS in macrophages will affect macrophages by increasing KDM6A and making them produce more ROS, thus inducing oxidative stress. In comparison, direct inhibition of KDM6A can reduce ROS production and inhibit macrophage M1 polarization more effectively.
