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-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a serious and diffuse cerebral dysregulation with a high morbidity and mortality caused by sepsis. Mitophagy plays an important role in SAE, and microglial phagocytosis of apoptotic cells (efferocytosis) is the core of the brain regenerative response. Voltage dependent anion channel (VDAC1) is an important regulator of mitophagy. However, it remains unknown whether VDAC1 influences SAE progression by regulating mitophagy and efferocytosis. Herein, we explored the mechanism where knockdown of VDAC1 alleviated the cognitive dysfunction caused by sepsis-associated encephalopathy and further elucidated the underlying molecular mechanisms. SAE model in mice was established through caecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The increased mitophagy and decreased efferocytosis were observed by the transmission electron microscope (TEM) in the SAE model. Besides, immunoblot tests showed an interaction between autophagy and efferocytosis. Further behavior tests and TEM results indicated that knockdown of VDAC1 alleviated the cognitive dysfunction by decreasing the autophagy and increasing the efferocytosis in a PINK1/Parkin-dependent manner. Based on these results, we conclude that knockdown of VDAC1 alleviates the cognitive dysfunction in the CLP-induced SAE mouse model.
