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)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a pulmonary disease with high mortality associated with inflammation. During the development of ALI/ARDS, macrophages usually polarize toward M1 pro-inflammatory macrophages, promoting the inflammatory response in ALI/ARDS and aggravating lung tissue damage. Natural compounds with anti-inflammatory activity have achieved excellent results in the treatment of ALI/ARDS through different regulatory modes, including macrophage polarization. Of note, flavonoid, brevilin A, and tetrahydropalmatine play an important role in the treatment of ALI/ARDS by modulating the phenotypic polarization of macrophages and their pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in innate immune cells of the lung. Flavonoids are a kind of naturally occurring polyphenol compound, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Studies have found that some flavonoids can alleviate ALI/ARDS through inhibiting the expression of inflammatory cytokines in macrophages. Among them, 5-methoxyflavone, acacetin, grape seed proanthocyanidins, and luteolin can also regulate macrophage polarization. Therefore, the in-depth exploration of the regulatory mechanism of macrophages can lay the foundation for the application of flavonoids in alleviating inflammation-related lung injury. This review focuses on the macrophage polarization effects of different natural compounds and their potential anti-inflammatory mechanisms in the treatment of ALI/ARDS.
