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

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38 plays a key role in driving the pathology of acute lung injury (ALI), but effective therapeutic targeting remains elusive. Atypical p38 signaling, mediated by interaction with the adaptor protein Tumor Growth Factor β Activated Kinase 1 (TAK1) Binding Protein 1 (TAB1), has so far only been observed during pathological responses, representing a selective and alternative target during pulmonary injury. However, atypical signaling has not been investigated in the context of pulmonary injury and immune responses related to the onset and progression of ALI. Here, we utilized a genetic knock-in mouse to block influenza A-induced lung injury mediated by atypical signaling. We report that the loss of TAB1-p38 interaction reduces weight loss and recovery time, reduces histopathological scores associated with influenza-induced lung injury early during infection, and prompts earlier recruitment of monocytes to the lungs following infection. These results were found to be independent of viral replication and infectivity, representing the first evidence for the roles of atypical signaling as a driver of host-mediated pulmonary injury following influenza infection.
