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

The pathophysiological mechanisms, especially the roles of immune cells, underlying early stages of severe burn injury have not yet been fully clarified. Here, we analyzed circulating neutrophils (PMNs) in healthy donors and early burned patients by single-cell RNA sequencing to provide a comprehensive transcriptional landscape of PMNs in heterogeneity and functional multiplicity. Circulating PMNs in the healthy donors and burned groups were divided into five subgroups (G3, G4, G5a, G5b, G5c) with different functions. The dominant subsets of PMNs in homeostasis and burn injury significantly differed between groups. In addition, cells in the same subpopulation had the same core identity markers but performed different functions in healthy and burned states. Under burned conditions, PMN activation was very evident and accompanied by clear degranulation and metabolic abnormalities. Interestingly, was found that PMN activation, degranulation, chemotaxis, phagocytosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in burned patients significantly differed between day 1 and days 2 or 3, thus providing a theoretical basis for PMN interventions in early burn stages. Significantly, previously undescribed transcription factors were also identified, including ZNF-787, ZNF-467, ZNF-189, ZNF-770, ZNF-262. In conclusion, this study conducted for the first time a detailed analysis of the heterogeneity and functional multiplicity of PMNs in early stages of severe burn injuries. Our findings attempted to clarify the influence of PMN heterogeneity on the pathophysiology and related mechanisms of burn injuries, which can provide new ideas for further research in burn intervention.
