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

backgroundSepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) leads to increased mortality. Hydrogen (H

methodsA mouse sepsis model was established via cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). 67% H

resultsHCH inhalation improves 7-day survival and cognitive function in septic mice and reduces brain tissue damage, proinflammatory cytokine levels, and phosphorylated tau levels. These effects were reversed by a mitophagy inhibitor. HCH significantly improves mitochondrial function, enhances PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy, and reduces the activity of the STING-TBK-IRF3 pathway in brain tissue.

conclusionsHCH inhalation effectively improved the survival rate of septic mice, alleviated SAE, and reduced tau phosphorylation. The mechanism may involve HCH enhancing PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy, which inhibits the activity of the cGAS-STING-IRF3 pathway, thereby reducing neuroinflammation.
