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

Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is commonly seen in surgical procedures involving cardiopulmonary bypass and post-shock reperfusion. Sudden restoration of blood flow after a period of ischemia triggers a rapid accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress that promote pathological injury. Macrophage-derived inflammatory responses are also thought to contribute to such injury, but how ROS influences tissue macrophages and their elaboration of inflammatory cytokines in IRI remains poorly understood. In this study, we showed that macrophages mobilize mitochondrial adaptations during reoxygenation, including mitochondrial fission and ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) flux. Furthermore, the transcription factor Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2 Like 1 (NRF1) is rapidly induced during reoxygenation in response to rising levels of ROS. Induction of NRF1 upregulates ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) and mitophagy pathways to mediate mitochondrial fusion/fission dynamics and dampen ROS production, allowing for alleviation of oxidative stress and the inflammatory response. Conversely, the absence of myeloid NRF1 leads to increased ROS, driving enhanced inflammation and kidney injury in a mouse model of IRI. We thus identify macrophage NRF1 as a master regulator of mitochondrial homeostasis, antioxidant defense, and inflammatory responses in IRI.
