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

There has been abundant research on the variety of programmed cell death pathways. Apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis under the action of the caspase family are essential for the innate immune response. Caspases are classified into inflammatory caspase-1/4/5/11, apoptotic caspase-3/6/7, and caspase-2/8/9/10. Although necroptosis is not caspase-dependent to transmit cell death signals, it can cross-link with pyroptosis and apoptosis signals under the regulation of caspase-8. An increasing number of studies have reiterated the involvement of the caspase family in acute lung injuries caused by bacterial and viral infections, blood transfusion, and ventilation, which is influenced by noxious stimuli that activate or inhibit caspase engagement pathways, leading to subsequent lung injury. This article reviews the role of caspases implicated in diverse programmed cell death mechanisms in acute lung injury and the status of research on relevant inhibitors against essential target proteins of the described cell death mechanisms. The findings of this review may help in delineating novel therapeutic targets for acute lung injury.
