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

objectivesTo investigate the effect of amentoflavone (AF) for alleviating lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice and inhibiting NLRP3/ASC/Caspase-1 axis-mediated pyroptosis.

methodsFemale BALB/c mice were randomly divided into control group, LPS group, and AF treatment groups at low, moderate and high doses (

resultsIn mice with LPS exposure, AF treatment significantly improved lung pathologies and edema, reduced protein levels in BALF and pulmonary MPO level, inhibited the high expression of NLRP3/ASC/Aspase-1 axis, reduced the expression of GSDMD N, and lowered the release of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, and TNF‑α. In RAW264.7 cells with LPS and ATP stimulation, AF pretreatment effectively reduced cell death, inhibited activation of the NLRP3/ASC/Aspase-1 axis, and reduced GSDMD N expression and the inflammatory factors. The pyroptosis inhibitor showed a similar effect to AF, and their combination produced more pronounced effects in RAW264.7 cells.

conclusionsAmentoflavone can alleviate ALI in mice possibly by inhibiting NLRP3/ASC/Caspase-1 axis-mediated cell pyroptosis.
