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: This study investigated whether adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells-exosomes (ADMSC-Exo) alleviate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) by regulating NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated macrophage M1 polarization and pyroptosis through the miR-19b-3p/TGFBR2/Smad4 signaling axis. Methods: An LPS-induced mouse model of ALI was established and treated with ADMSC-Exo or adenoviral TGFBR2 overexpression (Ad-TGFBR2). Lung histopathology, lung wet-to-dry (W/D) weight ratio, macrophage polarization, and pyroptosis were evaluated. Results: ADMSC-Exo alleviated LPS-induced lung injury by preserving alveolar architecture and reducing lung injury scores and the W/D ratio. They inhibited M1 macrophage polarization and pyroptosis both Conclusion: ADMSC-derived exosomes alleviate LPS-induced acute lung injury by delivering miR-19b-3p to inhibit the TGFBR2/Smad4 signaling pathway, thereby suppressing NLRP3-mediated macrophage M1 polarization and pyroptosis and reducing lung epithelial cell apoptosis.
