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

Sepsis continues to be associated with high morbidity and mortality. Currently, sepsis is managed only conservatively. In sepsis, a substantial number of neutrophils is required, leading to accelerated neutrophil production. Immature neutrophils are released into the circulation to meet a demand, despite their less effective functioning in microbial eradication. Although an intervention to provide more mature neutrophils may serve as a potential sepsis treatment, the mechanism of neutrophil differentiation and maturation remains poorly understood. We discovered that CD11c, traditionally known as a dendritic cell marker, was expressed in neutrophils and regulated neutrophil maturation and effector functions. In the absence of CD11c, neutrophil maturation was impaired in the bone marrow, concomitant with a significant increase in the proliferation and apoptosis of preneutrophils, associated with less effector functions. Under lipopolysaccharide challenge, inducing an emergent neutrophil production in the bone marrow, CD11c deficiency exaggerated the release of immature neutrophils into the circulation, associated with a significant proliferation and apoptosis of preneutrophils. In contrast, constitutively active CD11c knock-in mice showed accelerated neutrophil maturation associated with enhanced effector functions, which further supports the notion that CD11c regulates neutrophil maturation. Furthermore, the constitutively active CD11c knock-in mice offered enhanced bacterial eradication. Taken together, we discovered that CD11c was critical for the regulation of neutrophil maturation, and CD11c activation could serve as a potential target for sepsis treatment.
