Circulating Nucleosomes and Histones in the Development of Lung Injury and Sepsis.
Review in Current issues in molecular biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Cellular nucleosomes-the structural and functional units of chromatin-are inherently present in cells. During cellular damage or cell death, nucleosomes are released into circulation, either actively or passively. Once released, nucleosomes can become immunogenic entities through various mechanisms. The nucleosomal proteins in nucleosomes, called histones, play a pivotal role in inducing immunogenicity. However, intact nucleosomes are more immunogenic than the histones alone, as nucleosomal double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) enhances its immunogenic potential. Our recent study has shown that circulating histones are predominantly nucleosomal histones rather than free histones. Consequently, circulating histones primarily function as integral parts of circulating nucleosomes rather than acting independently. Circulating nucleosomes and their associated histones are implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide array of diseases. Notably, they are critical in the pathogenesis of lung injury and sepsis. These diseases have high morbidity and mortality rates and lack early diagnostic biomarkers. Further investigation is required to fully elucidate the role of circulating nucleosomes and their associated histones in disease processes. This review aims to discuss the current understanding of circulating nucleosomes and histones in the pathogenesis of lung injury and sepsis, with a focus on the underlying mechanisms.
