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

Polymicrobial sepsis (after cecal ligation and puncture, CLP) causes robust complement activation with release of C5a. Many adverse events develop thereafter and will be discussed in this review article. Activation of complement system results in generation of C5a which interacts with its receptors (C5aR1, C5aR2). This leads to a series of harmful events, some of which are connected to the cardiomyopathy of sepsis, resulting in defective action potentials in cardiomyocytes (CMs), activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in CMs and the appearance of extracellular histones, likely arising from activated neutrophils which form neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). These events are associated with activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in CMs. The ensuing release of histones results in defective action potentials in CMs and reduced levels of [Ca
