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

: Since their discovery, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been implicated in a broad array of functions, both beneficial and detrimental to the host. Indeed, NETs have roles in infection, sepsis, wound healing, thrombotic disease, and cancer propagation, all of which are directly implicated in the care of surgical patients. Here we provide an updated review on the role of NETs in the perioperative period with specific emphasis on perioperative infections, wound healing, vascular complications, cancer propagation, as well as discussing ongoing, and future therapeutic targets. Surgeons will benefit from understanding the latest discoveries in neutrophil biology and how these novel functions affect the care of surgical patients. Furthermore, novel anti-NET therapies are being developed which may have profound effects on the care of surgical patients.
