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

Alveolar edema and following respiratory distress results in the aggravation of epithelial damage and the progression of acute lung injury (ALI), however, with unclear molecular mechanism remained to be elucidated. Through proteomic screening and scRNA-seq mining analysis, we detected the decline expression of NDUFS1 in epithelial cells in lungs from paraquat/LPS-induced ALI models. NDUFS1 deficiency in alveolar epithelial cells reduced ENaCα expression, which impaired alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) and led to alveolar edema. Mechanistically, NDUSF1 deficiency in alveolar epithelial cells leads to mitochondrial dysfunction such as reduced complex I activity, impaired NAD+ production and increased ROS, these contributed to the decline of ENaCα. Supplementing NAD+ via Olaparib treatment alleviated the reduction of ENaCα abundance raised by NDUFS1 deficiency, improved AFC, and suppressed the progression of ALI. In summary, our study suggests that NDUFS1 promotes AFC by regulating ENaCα via NAD+ in pulmonary epithelial cells during ALI.
