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

backgroundAcute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is one of the most life-threatening diseases in the intensive care unit with high mortality and morbidity. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered immune related cell death that is associated with various lung diseases. However, the role of immune-mediated ferroptosis in ALI/ARDS has not been elucidated.

methodWe analyzed two Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets (GSE2411 and GSE109913) and extracted characteristic ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) between the control and ALI groups through bioinformatic analysis. Then, we prospectively collected bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from patients with ARDS and verified the expression of characteristic FRGs. Lastly, we constructed the ALI/ARDS model induced by LPS and isolated the primary neutrophils of mice. Erastin, an ferroptosis inducer, was used at the cellular level to verify the effect of neutrophils on ferroptosis in lung epithelium cells.

resultWe identified three characteristic FRGs, Cp, Slc39a14 and Slc7a11, by analyzing two gene expression profiling datasets. Immune infiltration analysis showed that the three characteristic genes were significantly positively correlated with the infiltration levels of neutrophils. We collected BALF from 59 ARDS patients to verify the expression of Cp, Slc7a11 and Slc39a14 in humans. The results showed that Cp was elevated in patients with severe ARDS (p = 0.019), Slc7a11 was significantly elevated in patients with moderate ARDS (p = 0.021) relative to patients with mild ARDS. The levels of neutrophils in the peripheral blood of ARDS patients were positively correlated with the expression levels of Slc7a11 (Pearson's R

conclusionWe identified three immune-mediated ferroptosis genes, namely, Cp, Slc7a11 and Slc39a14, which possibly regulated by neutrophils during the development of ALI, and their pathways may be involved in anti-oxidative stress and anti-lipid metabolism. Thus, the present study contributes to the understanding of ALI/ARDS and provide novel targets for future immunotherapeutic.
