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

Acute lung injury (ALI) represents a critical clinical challenge characterized by uncontrolled pulmonary inflammation and disrupted tissue homeostasis, often leading to severe respiratory dysfunction. Current pharmacological interventions and vaccines have demonstrated suboptimal clinical outcomes in modulating disease progression, highlighting the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. A key pathophysiological feature of ALI involves dysregulation of redox homeostasis and excessive pulmonary inflammation. Based on the demonstrated capacity of PBX1 to mitigate reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced cellular damage, we hypothesized its therapeutic potential for ALI management. Overexpression of PBX1 in A549 cells can alleviate the increase in tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 levels caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). To circumvent the limitations associated with viral transduction while enabling efficient macromolecular delivery, we engineered a novel TAT-PBX1 fusion protein. In vivo, TAT-PBX1 effectively attenuated LPS-induced ROS accumulation and inflammatory cytokines, while preserving mitochondrial morphology. It restored ATP levels and the NAD
