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

backgroundMegakaryocytes are traditionally recognized as cells responsible for platelet production. However, beyond their role in thrombopoiesis, megakaryocytes also participate in inflammatory responses and regulate immune system functions. Sepsis, characterized by life-threatening organ dysfunction due to a dysregulated response to infection, prominently features coagulopathy, severe inflammation, and immune dysfunction as key pathophysiological aspects. AIM OF REVIEW: Given the diverse functions of megakaryocytes, we explore their roles in coagulation in the context of sepsis, and also in inflammatory and immune regulation. We try to infer future research directions and potential strategies for sepsis prevention and treatment based on the properties of megakaryocytes. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to both highlight and provide an update on the functions of megakaryocytes and pathophysiological changes in sepsis. Specific emphasis is given to the role of megakaryocytes in sepsis, which suggests value of future research and clinical application.
