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

To investigate the mechanisms behind the worsening of acute lung injury (ALI) in obesity, transcriptomic sequencing is performed, and significantly reduced mRNA levels of Aconitate Decarboxylase 1 (ACOD1) in the lung tissue of high-fat diet (HFD) mice are found. Clinical samples are collected, an ALI model is established in HFD mice, and both human and mouse samples are analyzed, revealing a significant decrease in ACOD1 expression in lung tissue and alveolar macrophages in obesity. Further in vivo and in vitro experiments show that ACOD1 knockdown worsens lung injury, inflammation, and oxidative stress, while ACOD1 overexpression alleviates these effects. Moreover, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) inhibition diminishes the protective effects of ACOD1 overexpression in ALI exacerbated by obesity. Additionally, in the context of obesity, growth factor independent 1 (GFI1) protein levels are elevated in alveolar macrophages, and its knockdown leads to upregulated ACOD1 expression. Therefore, this study suggests that ACOD1 downregulation in alveolar macrophages is a key factor in worsening ALI in obesity, likely driven by GFI1 upregulation.
