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

Vascular inflammation and endothelial dysfunction contribute to vascular diseases. While neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) participate in some vascular pathologies, their roles in lower limb ischemia remain poorly defined. This study investigated the functional significance of NETs in vascular inflammation and remodeling associated with limb ischemia. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and flow cytometry revealed neutrophil activation and upregulated NETs formation in human limb ischemia, with immunofluorescence confirming IL-1β-induced release of NETs for vascular inflammation. Endothelial cell activation was examined via scRNA-seq and western blotting, indicating enhanced proliferation, expression of adhesion molecules (VCAM-1, ICAM-1), inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6) and decreased expression of VE-cadherin, that could be mediated by NETs to exacerbate endothelial inflammation. Mechanistically, NETs altered endothelial cell function via increased pSTAT1/STAT1 signaling. Vascular inflammation and subsequent ischemia were alleviated in vivo by NETosis or IL-1β inhibition in ischemic mice. IL-1β-NETs induce endothelial activation and inflammation in limb ischemia by stimulating STAT1 signaling. Targeting NETs may thus represent a novel therapeutic strategy for inflammatory vascular diseases associated with limb ischemia. Graphical abstract of NETs regulation of the development of vascular inflammation in lower limb ischemia via pSTAT1/STAT1 signaling pathway.
