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

This study aimed to investigate the roles of the transcription factor CEBPA and the sirtuin family protein SIRT4 in sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) through both cell-based experiments and animal models. Following LPS or sepsis treatment, both CEBPA and SIRT4 levels were significantly elevated, with a strong correlation observed between these proteins across various samples. Overexpression of CEBPA or SIRT4 mitigated LPS-induced damage, promoting cell survival, reducing apoptosis, and attenuating lung inflammation and injury. In mouse models of ALI, increased expression of CEBPA and SIRT4 substantially alleviated lung injury and inflammation, whereas silencing these genes exacerbated the condition. Further analysis revealed that CEBPA directly binds to the SIRT4 promoter, thereby enhancing SIRT4 protein expression, which in turn amplifies their protective effects. This study is the first to establish a functional link between CEBPA and SIRT4 in ALI, providing novel insights for the development of therapeutic strategies targeting inflammatory diseases.
