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

Sepsis presents a significant medical challenge due to its intense inflammatory response to infection, often resulting in high mortality rates. A promising therapeutic strategy targets the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAIP), which regulates immune responses. This study investigates the ingestion of piezoelectric particles that adhere to the stomach lining, specifically targeting TRPV1 receptors. In a mouse model of sepsis, these particles, when activated by low-intensity pulsed ultrasound, generate mild electrical pulses. These pulses stimulate vagal afferent fibers, transmitting signals to the brain and modulating the neural-immune network via the CAIP. Consequently, this leads to a reduction in systemic inflammation, mitigating weight loss, alleviating multiple tissue injuries, and preventing death by modulating immune cells in the spleen. This approach addresses the critical need for noninvasive sepsis therapies, potentially improving patient outcomes. Utilizing portable ultrasound equipment with minimal thermal effects, this technique offers a safe and convenient treatment option, even for home use.
