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

backgroundThe traditional Chinese medicine ReDuNing (RDN) is primarily composed of Artemisia annua , Gardenia jasminoides , Lonicera japonica , and clinically utilized for treating influenza. Therefore, we explored the mechanism of RDN in sepsis-induced lung injury.

methodsNetwork pharmacology was used to identify the active components of RDN. A drug component network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.10.1 to identify key compounds, and a protein‒protein interaction (PPI) network was established using the STRING database. Common targets of RDN and sepsis were uploaded to the DAVID Bioinformatics Resources 6.8 for Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses to predict potential signaling pathways. In vitro, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot assays were used to detect the expression levels of JAK1/STAT3 and inflammatory factors. Subsequently, in vivo experiments were performed to validate these hypotheses.

resultsJAK1 was the most significantly enriched common target, and RDN may exert its effects via the JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway. The expression of proinflammatory cytokines decreased in RDN-treated MH-S cells, which increased after inhibiting the JAK1/STAT3 pathway. The in vivo experimental results confirmed the in vitro findings.

conclusionRDN regulates the secretion of inflammatory cytokines by alveolar macrophages by activating the JAK1/STAT3 pathway, thereby alleviating sepsis-induced acute lung injury.
