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

backgroundLipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces acute lung injury (ALI), a condition characterized by oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, ultimately leading to respiratory failure. Dual-specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1), a key regulator of MAPK signaling, may offer protection against inflammatory damage.

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the protective effects of DUSP1 overexpression against LPS-induced inflammatory injury and to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms using both

methodsCellular and murine ALI models were established using LPS. DUSP1 was overexpressed via plasmid transfection for

resultsIn vitro, DUSP1 overexpression significantly enhanced cell viability while reducing apoptosis, ROS, malondialdehyde (MDA), and inflammatory cytokines in LPS-stimulated cells. In vivo, DUSP1 overexpression substantially alleviated LPS-induced lung injury, evidenced by decreased BALF protein, reduced lung water content, lower airway resistance, improved pulmonary function, and less tissue damage. Mechanistically, DUSP1 directly interacted with SHP2, inhibiting its phosphorylation, which in turn suppressed the phosphorylation of p53 and JNK. DUSP1 overexpression also downregulated PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy, key pro-apoptotic proteins (Cytochrome C, Caspase-3, Bax), and the NLRP3 inflammasome. Anisomycin treatment reversed these protective effects, confirming the dependence of DUSP1's protective action on JNK pathway inhibition.

conclusionDUSP1 overexpression alleviates LPS-induced lung inflammation and injury by targeting the SHP2-JNK axis and restoring mitochondrial homeostasis. These findings position DUSP1 as a promising therapeutic target for inflammatory lung disorders.
