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

Monocyte exhaustion characterized by immune-suppressive features can develop during sepsis and contribute to adverse patient outcomes. However, molecular mechanisms responsible for the establishment of immune-suppressive monocytes with reduced expression of immune-enhancing mediators such as CD86 during sepsis are not well understood. In this study, we identified that the TLR4 intracellular adaptor TRAM plays a key role in mediating the sustained reduction of CD86 expression on exhausted monocytes and generating an immune-suppressive monocyte state. TRAM contributes to the prolonged suppression of CD86 through inducing TAX1BP1 as well as SARM1, collectively inhibiting Akt and NFκB. TRAM deficient mice are protected from cecal slurry-induced experimental sepsis and retain immune-competent monocytes with CD86 expression. Our data reveal a key molecular circuitry responsible for monocyte exhaustion and provide a viable target for rejuvenating functional monocytes and treating sepsis.
