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

Objective: To investigate the protective effects of luteolin on ALI induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in male mice and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods: A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted to assess the causal relationship between hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Network pharmacology analysis was employed to identify herbs that mitigate inflammation and apoptosis by upregulating HGF expression and to determine the hub active ingredients. These findings were subsequently validated through Results: The MR analysis demonstrated a causal effect of HGF on ARDS (IVW: β = -1.120, OR = 0.326, 95% CI = 0.116-0.916, P = 0.033). Among herbs associated with upregulating HGF expression, Conclusion: Luteolin attenuates inflammation and apoptosis in the lungs of LPS-induced ALI mice via activation of the HGF/c-Met pathway.
