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

Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is prevalent in patients with sepsis and has a high mortality rate. Peptidyl arginine deiminase 2 (PADI2) and PADI4 play crucial roles in mediating the host's immune response in sepsis, but their specific functions remain unclear. Our study shows that Padi2-/- Padi4-/- double KO (DKO) improved survival, reduced lung injury, and decreased bacterial load in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) pneumonia-induced sepsis mice. Using single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq), we found that the deletion of Padi2 and Padi4 reduced the Nlrp3+ proinflammatory macrophages and fostered Chil3+ myeloid cell differentiation into antiinflammatory macrophages. Additionally, we observed the regulatory role of the NLRP3/Ym1 axis upon DKO, confirmed by Chil3 knockdown and Nlrp3-KO experiments. Thus, eliminating Padi2 and Padi4 enhanced the polarization of Ym1+ M2 macrophages by suppressing NLRP3, aiding in inflammation resolution and lung tissue repair. This study unveils the PADIs/NLRP3/Ym1 pathway as a potential target in treatment of sepsis-induced ALI.
