Regenerative Signatures in Bronchioalveolar Lavage of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background: In patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) associated with sepsis, lung recovery is considerably delayed, and mortality is much high. More insight into the process of lung regeneration in ARDS patients is needed. Exosomes are important cargos for intercellular communication by serving as autocrine and/or paracrine. Cutting-edge exomics (exosomal proteomics) makes it possible to study the mechanisms of re-alveolarization in ARDS lungs. Aims: This study aimed to identify potential regenerative niches by characterizing differentially expressed proteins in the exosomes of bronchioalveolar lavage (BAL) in ARDS patients. Methods: We purified exosomes from BAL samples collected from ARDS patients by NIH-supported ALTA and SPIROMICS trials. The abundance of exosomal proteins/peptides was quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Differentially expressed exosomal proteins between healthy controls and ARDS patients were profiled for functional annotations, cell origins, signaling pathways, networks, and clinical correlations. Results: Our results show that more exosomal proteins were identified in the lungs of late-stage ARDS patients. Immune cells and lung epithelial stem cells were major contributors to BAL exosomes in addition to those from other organs. We enriched a wide range of functions, stem cell signals, growth factors, and immune niches in both mild and severe patients. The differentially expressed proteins that we identified were associated with key clinical variables. The severity-associated differences in protein-protein interaction, RNA crosstalk, and epigenetic network were observed between mild and severe groups. Moreover, alveolar type 2 epithelial cells could serve as both exosome donors and recipients via autocrine and paracrine mechanisms. Conclusions: This study identifies novel exosomal proteins associated with diverse functions, signaling pathways, and cell origins in ARDS lavage samples. These differentiated proteins may serve as regenerative niches for re-alveolarization in injured lungs.
