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

objectiveTo investigate the regulatory effect of glycyrrhizin (GL) on the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) from neutrophils in sepsis.

methodsHL-60 cells were induced to differentiate into neutrophil-like dHL-60 cells to establish a neutrophil-like sepsis model. Expression levels of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), citrullinated histone H3 (Cit-H3), and Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) were assessed by Western blotting. Free DNA, a component of NETs, was quantified using a fluorescence microplate reader. Cellular immunofluorescence analysis was used to detect the expression of the key NETs protein, Cit-H3.

resultsdHL-60 cells stimulated with 200 ng/ml LPS exhibited the highest expression of Cit-H3. The neutrophil-like sepsis model showed significantly increased levels of Cit-H3 and HMGB1. GL intervention significantly reduced the expression levels of HMGB1 and Cit-H3 and decreased the free DNA level. These findings suggest that GL decreases HMGB1 expression and NET release in the neutrophil-like sepsis model. TLR9 expression was significantly elevated in the sepsis model. Exogenous recombinant human HMGB1 protein further increased TLR9 expression, while GL inhibited this increase.

conclusionGL may inhibit NET release in sepsis through the HMGB1/TLR9 pathway.
