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

Respiratory pathogens such as influenza and SARS-CoV-2 can cause severe lung infections leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The pathophysiology of ARDS includes an excessive host immune response, lung epithelial and endothelial cell death and loss of the epithelial and endothelial barrier integrity, culminating in pulmonary oedema and respiratory failure. Traditional approaches for the treatment of respiratory infections include drugs that exert direct anti-pathogen effects (e.g., antivirals). However, such agents are typically ineffective or insufficient after the development of ARDS. Modulation of the host response has emerged as a promising alternative therapeutic approach to mitigate damage to the host for the treatment of respiratory infections; in principle, this strategy should also be less susceptible to the development of pathogen resistance. In this review, we discuss different host-targeting strategies against pathogen-induced ARDS. Developing therapeutics that enhance the host response is a pathogen-agnostic approach that will help prepare for the next pandemic.
