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

unlabelledHigh-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) is a nonhistone nuclear protein that has a dual function. Inside the cell, HMGB1 binds DNA, regulating transcription and determining chromosomal architecture. Outside the cell, HMGB1 activates the innate system and mediates a wide range of physiological and pathological responses. HMGB1 exerts these actions through differential engagement of multiple surface receptors, including Toll-like receptor (TLR)2, TLR4, and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE). HMGB1 is implicated as a late mediator of sepsis and is also involved in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Interestingly, HMGB1 was associated with tumor progression, becoming a potential therapeutic target, due to its involvement in the resistance to chemotherapy. Its implication on the pathogenesis of systemic vasculitis and inflammatory bowel diseases has also been evaluated. Moreover, it regulates neuroinflammation after traumatic brain injuries or cerebral infectious diseases. The aim of this review is to analyze these different roles of HMGB1, both in physiological and pathological conditions, discussing clinical and scientific implications in the field of pediatrics.

conclusionHMGB1 plays a key role in several pediatric diseases, opening new scenarios for diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic strategies development.
