Understanding the pathophysiology of acute critical illness: translational lessons from zebrafish models.
Review in Intensive care medicine experimental, 2024. 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
The models used to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms of acute critical illness are not limited to mammalian species. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a popular model organism for studying diseases due to its transparency and rapid development. The genes and signaling pathways involved in acute critical illness appear highly conserved among zebrafish and humans. Forward genetics such as random mutagenesis by a chemical mutagen or reverse genetics methods represented by CRISPR/Cas9 allowed researchers to reveal multiple novel aspects of pathological processes in areas including infection, immunity, and regeneration. As a model of sepsis, transgenic zebrafish allowed the visualization of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced vascular leakage in vivo and the demonstration of changes in the expression of cellular junction proteins. Other transgenic zebrafish visualizing the extravascular migration of neutrophils and macrophages have demonstrated a decrease in neutrophil numbers and an increased expression of an inflammatory gene, which replicates a phenomenon observed in humans in clinically encountered sepsis. The regenerative potential and the visibility of zebrafish organs also enabled clarification of important mechanisms in wound healing, angiogenesis, and neurogenesis. After spinal cord injury (SCI), a marker gene expressed in glial bridging was discovered. Furthermore, localized epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and molecular mechanisms leading to spinal cord repair were revealed. These translational studies using zebrafish show the potential of the model system for the treatment of acute critical illnesses such as sepsis, organ failure, and trauma.
