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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role of pyroptosis in alveolar macrophages regarding the immune microenvironment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and its prognosis. Methods: ARDS Microarray data were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF) models were applied to identify hub pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) with prognostic significance in ARDS. RT-PCR was used to detect the relative expression of PRGs mRNA in alveolar macrophages of ARDS mice. Consensus clustering analysis was conducted based on the expression of the PRGs to identify pyroptosis modification patterns. Bioinformatic algorithms were used to study the immune traits and biological functions of the pyroptosis patterns. Finally, protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were established to identify hub regulatory proteins with implications for the pyroptosis patterns. Results: In our study, a total of 12 PRGs with differential expression were obtained. Four hub PRGs, including GPX4, IL6, IL18 and NLRP3, were identified and proven to be predictive of ventilator-free days (VFDS) in ARDS patients. The AUC values of the 4 PRGs were 0.911 (GPX4), 0.879 (IL18), 0.851 (IL6) and 0.841 (NLRP3), respectively. In ARDS mice, GPX4 mRNA decreased significantly, while IL6, IL18, and NLRP3 mRNA increased. Functional analysis revealed that IL6 had the strongest positive correlation with the CCR pathway, while GPX4 exhibited the strongest negative correlation with the T co-inhibition pathway. Based on the expression of the 4 PRGs, three pyroptosis modification patterns representing different immune states were obtained, and pattern C might represent immune storm. Conclusion: The results showed that pyroptosis plays an important regulatory role in the immune microenvironment of ARDS. This finding provides new insights into the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of ARDS.
