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

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is independently associated with a poor prognosis in patients with sepsis. Macrophage M1 polarization plays an instrumental role in this process. Therefore, the exploration of key molecules affecting acute lung injury and macrophage M1 polarization may provide therapeutic targets for the treatment of septic ARDS. Here, we identified that elevated levels of Ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 22 (ANKRD22) were associated with poor prognosis and more pronounced M1 macrophage polarization in septic patients by analyzing high-throughput data. ANKRD22 expression was also significantly upregulated in the alveolar lavage fluid, peripheral blood, and lung tissue of septic ARDS model mice. Knockdown of ANKRD22 significantly attenuated acute lung injury in mice with sepsis-induced ARDS and reduced the M1 polarization of lung macrophages. Furthermore, deletion of ANKRD22 in macrophages inhibited M1 macrophage polarization and reduced levels of phosphorylated IRF3 and intracellular interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) expression, while re-expression of ANKRD22 reversed these changes. Further experiments revealed that ANKRD22 promotes IRF3 activation by binding to mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS). In conclusion, these findings suggest that ANKRD22 promotes the M1 polarization of lung macrophages and exacerbates sepsis-induced ARDS.
