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

Background: Early outcomes of influenza-induced lung injury depend on the rapid activation of the macrophage-type I interferon (IFN) axis, a process that requires tightly regulated glutathione-reactive oxygen species (GSH-ROS) buffering. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether oral Methods: The public dataset GSE43764 (48 Agilent one-color microarrays) was re-analyzed using ComBat batch correction, limma differential analysis, gene set variation analysis (GSVA) functional scoring, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) co-expression, CIBERSORTx deconvolution, and mixed-effects modeling; all statistics were Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted. Results: In uninfected mice, pulmonary Gclc was significantly upregulated in the B240 group ( Conclusions: B240 elevates baseline GSH-ROS thresholds and reshapes a red co-expression module, synchronously amplifying macrophage infiltration and type I IFN feedback, thereby strengthening early innate responses to H1N1 infection and suggesting nutritional-immunological prophylaxis for high-risk respiratory viral exposure.
