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

Purpose: Explore the therapeutic effect and molecular mechanism of rhein on severe acute pancreatitis associated acute lung injury (SAP-ALI). Methods: The SAP-ALI rat model was constructed by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreaticobiliary duct, and pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell (PMVEC) injury model was induced by LPS. The potential therapeutic effects and appropriate dosages of rhein on SAP-ALI and PMVEC were investigated in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Furthermore, the regulatory role of MARK4 in the related pathological process were confirmed by some experimental methods. RNA sequencing analysis was performed to explore the potential downstream genes of MARK4. Moreover, the regulatory effect of rhein on MARK4 was validated through molecular docking and rescue experiments. Results: Rhein intervention had potential therapeutic effects on acute lung injury triggered by SAP and pulmonary endothelial cell injury induced by LPS. MARK4 may contribute to pulmonary endothelial cell injury through the modulation of microtubule structure. Compared with LPS stimulation, a total of 2081 differentially expressed genes were identified after MARK4 knockdown. The results of molecular docking and rescue experiments indicated that rhein may exert its protective effects by targeting MARK4. Conclusion: Rhein may regulate the microtubule structure by targeting MARK4, thereby alleviating SAP-ALI and LPS-induced pulmonary endothelial cell injury.
