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 (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common respiratory disease characterized by hypoxemia and respiratory distress. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Due to the complex pathogenesis of ALI, the clinical management of patients with ALI/ARDS is challenging, resulting in numerous post‑treatment sequelae and compromising the quality of life of patients. Macrophages, as a class of innate immune cells, play an important role in ALI/ARDS. In recent years, the functions and phenotypes of macrophages have been better understood due to the development of flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, single‑cell sequencing and spatial genomics. However, no macrophage‑targeted drugs for the treatment of ALI/ARDS currently exist in clinical practice. Natural products are important for drug development, and it has been shown that numerous natural compounds from herbal medicine can alleviate ALI/ARDS caused by various factors by modulating macrophage abnormalities. In the present review, the natural products from herbal medicine that can modulate macrophage abnormalities in ALI/ARDS to treat ALI/ARDS are introduced, and their mechanisms of action, discovered in the previous five years (2019‑2024), are presented. This will provide novel ideas and directions for further research, to develop new drugs for the treatment of ALI/ARDS.
