Turning a pathogen protein into a therapeutic tool for sepsis.
Article in EMBO molecular medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Sepsis causes unacceptably high amounts of deaths worldwide. It is a huge unmet medical need, and new therapeutic interventions for sepsis and septic shock are urgently needed. By studying the mechanism by which a bacterial protein undermines the inflammatory function of macrophages, Kim et al, in the last issue of EMBO Molecular Medicine, have developed a new therapeutic protein drug, which appears to have very promising protective activities in a well-validated and aggressive polymicrobial sepsis model in mice. The chimeric protein is thought to limit macrophage inflammation while activating phagocytosis, and so, it hits two macrophage pathways at once.
