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

Introduction: To explore the mechanism of action of azithromycin on lung oxidative injury and immune function in mice infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) based on the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2/antioxidant response element (Nrf2/ARE) signaling pathway. Material and methods: The lung index, dry/wet weight ratio, inflammatory factor levels in alveolar lavage fluid, serum contents of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and immunoglobulin G (IgG), oxidative stress markers, peripheral blood levels of T-lymphocyte subsets, pathological changes, and Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 expression were assessed. Results: Compared to the control group, the MP group exhibited elevated lung index, reduced lung dry/wet weight ratio, elevated tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 contents, reduced IL-10 levels, raised IFN-γ, IgG and peripheral blood CD8 Conclusions: Azithromycin ameliorates MP infection-induced lung injury and oxidative stress and strengthens immune function in mice, which may be achieved by activating the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.
