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

Alveolar macrophages (AMs) play a key role in the innate immune system and the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a condition with a significant sex bias. However, the influence of biological sex on AM immunometabolism remains poorly defined. We tested the hypothesis that female AMs would exhibit greater metabolic resilience (less impact on their mitochondrial function) compared with male AMs upon exposure to hyperoxia. We characterized bioenergetic profiles of male (MH-S) and female (AMJ2-C11) adult murine AM cell lines and primary neonatal AMs from C57BL/6 pups. Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) were quantified using Seahorse extracellular flux analysis at baseline and following 48 h of hyperoxia (85% O
