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) is a life-threatening pulmonary inflammatory disorder with high morbidity and mortality rates. Effective targeting of damaged lung tissues and regulation of inflammatory dysregulation are major challenges in clinical treatment. This study aimed to develop a multifunctional drug delivery system by coating mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (mPDA NPs) loaded with Peimine (PM) using macrophage membranes (MMs) to leverage their inflammatory targeting properties. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated the excellent targeting capability, strong antioxidant activity, and significant anti-inflammatory effects of the developed MM@mPDA-PM NPs. Furthermore, transcriptomics analysis revealed that MM@mPDA-PM NPs significantly reduced myeloperoxidase (MPO), neutrophil elastase (NE), and peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4), as well as inhibited the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), and promoted M2 macrophage polarization by downregulating the NF-κB and JAK/STAT pathways. Our developed system effectively reduced neutrophil infiltration, suppressed cytokine storms, and regulated the pulmonary immune microenvironment, demonstrating great potential for treating ALI and other inflammatory diseases.
