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

Lung diseases triggered by endogenous or exogenous factors have become a major concern, with high morbidity and mortality rates, especially after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Inflammation and an over-activated immune system can lead to a cytokine cascade, resulting in lung dysfunction and injury. Itaconate, a metabolite produced by macrophages, has been reported as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress agent with significant potential in regulating immunometabolism. As a naturally occurring metabolite in immune cells, itaconate has been identified as a potential therapeutic target in lung diseases through its role in regulating inflammation and immunometabolism. This review focuses on the origin, regulation, and function of itaconate in lung diseases, and briefly discusses its therapeutic potential.
