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

Background: Seawater drowning is a leading cause of accidental injury and death, and the resulting acute lung injury (ALI) is a serious clinical syndrome for which there are no effective treatments. This study aims to investigate the potential mechanism of seawater drowning-induced ALI. Methods: Seawater drowning mouse models were constructed to assess lung injury. The hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining and fluorescent terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay were used to observe the pathology of lung tissues and apoptosis, respectively. 16S rRNA and RNA-seq were performed to identify the structure of the intestinal microbes and the gene expression profiles of the lung tissue of the mice, respectively. The expression of cytokines was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected by assay kits. Results: The results showed that seawater drowning aggravated lung injury and accelerated cell apoptosis in mice. Seawater exposure significantly altered the structure of mouse intestinal microbes, especially increasing the abundance of Conclusions: This study reveals the mechanism that intestinal microflora aggravates ALI by modulating inflammatory signaling pathways, depicting the landscape of the microbial-gene-lung axis and providing new insights into the use of gut flora as a therapeutic strategy for ALI.
