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

introductionLactate has emerged as a multifunctional signaling molecule regulating various physiological and pathological processes. Furthermore, lactylation, a newly identified posttranslational modification triggered by lactate accumulation, plays significant roles in human health and diseases. This study aims to investigate the roles of lactate/lactylation in respiratory diseases.

methodsComprehensive literature analysis was conducted using PubMed database, utilizing a range of keywords including "lactate", "lactylation", "lung", "pulmonary", and "disease".

resultsEmerging evidence indicates that increased glycolytic flux, resultant lactate accumulation, and elevated lactylation levels play key roles in the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases, including lung cancer, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS), pulmonary hypertension (PH), and asthma. Under these conditions, the upregulation of glycolytic enzymes and increased lactate transport are observed. Elevated levels of lactate and lactylation profoundly influence multiple biological processes, such as inflammatory responses, immune cell activation, autophagy, ferroptosis, EMT, tumorigenesis, and fibrosis, and lactate/lactylation-targeted therapies have demonstrated therapeutic efficacy against diverse respiratory illnesses.

conclusionsElevated levels of lactate and lactylation play key roles in the pathogenesis of various respiratory diseases, and lactate/lactylation-targeted therapies appear to be potential therapeutic strategies for these respiratory diseases.
