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

backgroundS. aureus pneumonia, one of the most common S. aureus-induced diseases, is characterized by infectious inflammation in alveoli, distal airway, and lung interstitial. Forsythiaside A possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-infective, and other pharmacological properties in several diseases. The role of forsythiaside A remains unclear in S. aureus pneumonia. AIM OF THE STUDY: We aimed to figure out the role of forsythiaside A in S. aureus pneumonia.

methodsRAW264.7 cells and C57BL6 mice were infected with S. aureus to construct S. aureus pneumonia cell model and animal model, respectively. A series of experiments including MTT, ELISA, Western blot, H&E staining and EBD staining were operated to figure out the role of forsythiaside A in S. aureus pneumonia.

resultsIn RAW264.7 cells, forsythiaside A did not induce cell toxicity but triggered cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β) release in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, forsythiaside A inhibited p38 JNK/MAPK/ERK and NF-κB pathways by repressing phosphorylation of p38, JNK, ERK and p65 proteins. For in vivo study, forsythiaside A improved survival rate of S. aureus pneumonia mice by alleviating lung injury. In addition, forsythiaside A protected from air-blood barrier destruction and pulmonary edema. At last, forsythiaside A inhibited neutrophils infiltration and inflammatory response in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.

conclusionsForsythoside A inhibited inflammatory response by inhibiting p38 JNK/MAPK/ERK and NF-κB signaling in S. aureus pneumonia, which provided a novel insight for S. aureus pneumonia treatment.
