Circulating Neutrophil Profiles Undergo a Dynamic Shift during Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) Progression.
Article in Biomedicines, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Neutrophils play a crucial role in host defense against infection. Aberrant neutrophil activation may induce tissue damage via sterile inflammation. Neutrophil accumulation has been identified as a feature of the inflammatory response observed in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and has been associated with liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Here, we performed the transcriptomic analysis of circulating neutrophils from mild and advanced MASH patients to identify the potential mechanism behind neutrophil contribution to MASH progression. Our findings demonstrated that circulating neutrophils from mild and advanced MASH display an increased activated transcriptional program, with the expression of pro-inflammatory factors and an amplified lifespan compared to cells from non-diseased controls. Our results also suggest that MASH progression is associated with a dynamic shift in the profile of circulating neutrophils. In the early stages of MASH, mature neutrophils predominate in the bloodstream. As hepatic inflammation and fibrosis progress, the premature release of immature neutrophils into the circulation occurs. These immature neutrophils exhibit a pro-inflammatory profile that may exacerbate inflammation and promote fibrosis in MASH.
