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

Mechanical ventilation (MV), though life-saving in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), can cause ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). MicroRNA-24 (miR-24) has been implicated in regulating inflammation and apoptosis, but its role in VILI remains unexplored. Therefore, our study aimed to explore the role of mechanism of miR-24 in VILI. MiR-24 expression was analyzed in MV-induced ARDS rat models (GSE57223), plasma from ARDS patients, and cyclic stretch (CS)-treated alveolar epithelial cells. Functional studies included intratracheal delivery of miR-24-agomir in rats with VILI and transfection of miR-24 mimic in CS-exposed cells. Inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress markers, apoptosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction were assessed using ELISA, RT-qPCR, TUNEL, JC-1 staining, and ATP assays. BOK was identified as a target of miR-24 via bioinformatics, luciferase reporter, and RNA pull-down assays. Rescue experiments using BOK overexpression vectors (pcDNA3.1/BOK) were conducted in both models to confirm functional interaction. MiR-24 was significantly downregulated in ARDS patients and VILI models and positively correlated with oxygenation index. Overexpression of miR-24 attenuated MV- and CS-induced inflammation, oxidative damage, and mitochondrial apoptosis dysfunction. BOK was confirmed as a direct target of miR-24; its expression was upregulated in ARDS and VILI and inversely correlated with miR-24 levels. Silencing of BOK attenuated MV-induced inflammation, oxidative damage, and apoptosis in rats. Importantly, BOK overexpression reversed the protective effects of miR-24 both in vivo and in vitro, confirming its role as a key downstream effector. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that miR-24 had good diagnostic potential (AUC = 0.834). Overall, MiR-24 protects against MV-induced lung injury by targeting BOK and modulating key injury pathways. The miR-24/BOK axis offers a promising therapeutic avenue for ARDS-associated VILI.
