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 AND

designAstilbin (ATB) is a newly discovered natural compound with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. However, its effects and underlying mechanisms in acute lung injury (ALI) remain unclear. MATERIAL OR SUBJECTS: An ALI model was established by intratracheal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into the trachea of C57BL/6 mice. In vitro, MLE-12 cells were stimulated with LPS. ATB was administered as a pretreatment to C57BL/6 mice and MLE-12 cells.

resultsATB significantly alleviated ALI and suppressed the inflammatory response induced by LPS. Further data suggested that ATB inhibited LPS-induced ferroptosis in epithelial cells by increasing GPX4 and xCT expression. Moreover, ATB promoted NRF2 nuclear translocation in the LPS-treated group, while NRF2 inhibition significantly reversed the protective effects of ATB on ferroptosis and inflammation. NRF2 knockout in vivo abolished the protective effects of ATB against ALI and epithelial cell ferroptosis. Mechanistically, ATB increased NRF2 activity by binding to the Val608 amino acid of NRF2. The effect of ATB in improving ALI and ferroptosis was significantly reduced in NRF2 Val608 mutant mice.

conclusionATB mitigated ALI by suppressing epithelial cell ferroptosis and activating the NRF2 pathway via binding to Val608 of NRF2.
