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

The metabolic reprogramming of macrophages is a potential therapeutic strategy for sepsis treatment, but the mechanism underlying this reprogramming remains unclear. Since glycolysis can drive macrophage phenotype switching, the rate-limiting enzymes in glycolysis may be key to treating sepsis. Here, we found that, compared with other isoenzymes, the expression of 6-phosphofructokinase, muscle type (PFKM) was the most upregulated in monocytes from septic patients. Recombinant thrombomodulin (rTM) treatment downregulated the protein expression of PFKM in macrophages. Both rTM treatment and Pfkm knockout protected mice from sepsis and reduced the production of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-27, whereas PFKM overexpression increased the production of these cytokines. Mechanistically, rTM treatment inhibited glycolysis in macrophages by decreasing PFKM expression in a hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)-dependent manner. HIF-1α overexpression increased methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) expression, elevated the m
