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 (ALI) is a serious lung disease characterized by acute and severe inflammation. Upregulation of ACE2 and inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway attenuate LPS-induced ALI.

objectiveTo explore whether Zang Siwei Qingfei Mixture inhibits the development of ALI through the ACE2/NF-κB signaling pathway.

methodsAlveolar type II epithelial cells (AEC II) were identified by immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry. C57BL/6J mice were treated with LPS to establish an ALI model. Cell viability was assessed using CCK8 assays. The levels of ACE, ACE2, p-p38/p38, p- ERK1/2/ERK1/2, p-JNK/JNK, p-IκBα/IκB-α, p-NF-κBp65 were analyzed by Western blotting. ELISA was applied to detect the levels of TNF-a, IL-6, AGT, and Ang1-7. HE staining was used to observe lung injury. The mRNA expression of ACE, ACE2, and Mas was measured by RT-qPCR.

resultsAEC II cells were successfully isolated. Treatment with the Zang Siwei Qingfei Mixture resulted in a decrease in ACE, p-p38/p38, p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2, p-JNK/JNK, p-IκBα/IκB-α, p-NF-κBp65 levels, while increasing ACE2 levels. Zang Siwei Qingfei mixture also led to a reduction in TNF-α, IL6, and AGT levels, while increasing Ang1-7 level. Histological analysis showed that Zang Siwei Qingfei Mixture treatment improved the alveolar structure of ALI mice and reduced inflammatory infiltration. The pretreatment with MLN-4760, an ACE2 inhibitor, resulted in opposite effects compared to Zang Siwei Qingfei Mixture treatment.

conclusionZang Siwei Qingfei mixture attenuates ALI by regulating the ACE2/NF-κB signaling pathway in mice. This study provides a theoretical foundation for the development of improved ALI treatments.
