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

Circulating components of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), especially histones, are associated with tissue injury during inflammatory conditions like sepsis. Commonly used as a NET biomarker, citrullinated histone 3 (H3Cit) may also functionally contribute to the NET-associated inflammatory response. To this end, we sought to examine the role of H3Cit in mediating microvascular endothelial barrier dysfunction. Here we show that H3Cit can directly contribute to inflammatory injury by disrupting the microvascular endothelial barrier. We found that endothelial responses to H3Cit are characterized by cell-cell adherens junction opening and cytoskeleton reorganization with increased F-actin stress fibers. Several signaling pathways often implicated in the transduction of hyperpermeability, such as Rho and MLCK, did not appear to play a major role; however, the adenylyl cyclase activator forskolin blocked the endothelial barrier effect of H3Cit. Taken together, the data suggest that H3Cit-induced endothelial barrier dysfunction may hold promise to treat inflammatory injury.
