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), which can progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), has inflammation as a crucial factor, especially the NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome involvement. Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) can block NLRP3 activation, but the mechanism is unclear. Vanillic acid, possessing anti-inflammatory properties, has a role in acute lung injury (ALI) whose specific mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of vanillic acid in ALI induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and to elucidate the potential mechanisms. In vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted using cells and a mouse model to find out the impact and underlying mechanisms. We found that vanillic acid demonstrated significant inhibition of IL-1β and IL-18 release triggered by LPS and nigericin in J774A.1 cells. The in vivo findings indicated that vanillic acid not only mitigated acute lung injury but also suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation in mice. Mechanistically, vanillic acid inhibited the LPS-induced increase in STIM1 expression through the lysosomal degradation pathway. The reduced STIM1 expression diminished intracellular Ca
