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 lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is characterised by an uncontrolled inflammatory response, and current treatment strategies have limited efficacy. Although the protective effect of M2-like macrophages (M2φ) and their extracellular vesicles (EVs) has been well-documented in other inflammatory diseases, the role of M2φ-derived EVs (M2φ-EVs) in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS remains poorly understood. The present study utilised a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide-induced ALI to first demonstrate a decrease in endogenous M2-like alveolar macrophage-derived EVs. And then, intratracheal instillation of exogenous M2φ-EVs from the mouse alveolar macrophage cell line (MH-S) primarily led to a take up by alveolar macrophages, resulting in reduced lung inflammation and injury. Mechanistically, the M2φ-EVs effectively suppressed the pyroptosis of alveolar macrophages and inhibited the release of excessive cytokines such as IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β both in vivo and in vitro, which were closely related to NF-κB/NLRP3 signalling pathway inhibition. Of note, the protective effect of M2φ-EVs was partly mediated by miR-709, as evidenced by the inhibition of miR-709 expression in M2φ-EVs mitigated their protective effect against lipopolysaccharide-induced ALI in mice. In addition, we found that the expression of miR-709 in EVs derived from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was correlated negatively with disease severity in ARDS patients, indicating its potential as a marker for ARDS severity. Altogether, our study revealed that M2φ-EVs played a protective role in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS, partly mediated by miR-709, offering a potential strategy for assessing disease severity and treating ALI/ARDS.
