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

backgroundImmunothrombosis is a physiological process based on the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to immobilise, contain and kill bacteria. This is an innate immune response in which the local activation of blood coagulation exerts the critical protective function during microbial infection. In recent years, there has been much interest in the adult literature about the key role of immunothrombosis in pathologic states including thrombosis, cancer, sepsis and trauma. Currently, little research has been done into its role in paediatric conditions.

methodsWe conducted a literature search of the National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE/PubMed) from the years 2000 to May 2018 and qualitatively identified 24 relevant papers. References of articles included for full-text review were checked for relevant publications.

resultsOur aim is to summarise the most relevant evidences regarding an excessive production or defective removal of NETs in paediatric conditions. In particular, we have divided the role of immunothrombosis into acute (sepsis, necrotising enterocolitis, otitis media, neonatal arterial ischaemic stroke, haemolytic anaemic diseases) and chronic (systemic lupus erythematous, type 1 diabetes mellitus, respiratory diseases, graft-versus-host disease) conditions to find important similarities in their pathophysiology.

conclusionThe field of immunothrombosis in paediatric conditions is still in its infancy. We have presented multiple pathways of NET-induced disease together with possible areas of future research and treatments.
