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

introductionSevere inflammatory response leads to poor prognosis of acute lung injury (ALI), the role of gypenosides (GPs) on ALI is not fully clear. The study aimed at investigating the effects of GPs on ALI.

methodsWe firstly established LPS-induced ALI mice model. Then, we tested whether GPs contributed to alleviate inflammatory response and lung injury of ALI in vivo. In order to identify specific mechanisms of the phenomenon, we conducted a bioinformatic analysis of LPS-induced ALI mice based on GEO database to identify hub differentially expressed genes (DEGs). PPI network of the DEGs was used to find hub-genes. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis were conducted based on the DAVID database to identify which pathways the genes enriched. Then, we tested whether GPs inhibited lung injury and inflammatory response via the enriched pathways. We also tested whether GPs inhibited the apoptosis of endothelial and epithelial cells secondary to severe inflammation.

resultsWe found GPs significantly alleviated lung injury and improved the survival rate of LPS-induced ALI mice in vivo. Bioinformatic analysis identified 20 hub-genes from DEGs, they were mainly enriched in NF-κB and TNF-α pathways. GPs could reduce the lung injury and inflammatory response via inhibiting NF-κB and TNF-α pathways in vivo. Our results indicated that GPs also inhibited inflammatory response of epithelial and endothelial cells via NF-κB and TNF-α pathways in vitro. Severe inflammatory response could also lead to apoptosis of endothelial and epithelial cells. Our results indicated that GPs effectively inhibited the apoptosis of endothelial and epithelial cells.

conclusionOur study suggested GPs contributed to alleviated lung injury in vivo and inhibited inflammation and apoptosis of endothelial and epithelial cells in vitro, providing novel strategies for the prevention and therapy for ALI.
