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

Supraphysiological oxygen is the most conventional method of treating patients with acute respiratory failure, but prolonged exposure to hyperoxia generates large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the lungs, leading to hyperoxia lung injury (HLI). Nevertheless, there is no safe and effective prevention strategy. Herein, multienzyme active melanin nanodots were developed as an antioxidant-immunomodulatory defense nanoplatform for the treatment of HLI. The prepared nanodots are about 4 nm in size and are mainly composed of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen elements with high stability and multi-enzymatic activity for scavenging various reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen radicals. Cellular experiments showed that melanin nanodots increased cell viability and ameliorated hyperoxia-induced morphological changes, mitochondrial damage and apoptosis. Meanwhile, by activating the Nrf2/Keap1/HO-1 signaling pathway, the treatment of melanin nanodots significantly inhibited the overproduction of ROS, reduced malondialdehyde, and increased the endogenous antioxidant enzyme activity in BEAS-2B cells. Interestingly, the antioxidant properties of melanin nanodots indirectly promoted the phenotypic shift of macrophages, and reduced hyperoxia-induced inflammatory responses in the damaged environment.
