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 is often accompanied by liver injury and is associated with an increase in the number of circulating and hepatic neutrophils. In sepsis-associated liver injury, neutrophils exhibit phenotypic heterogeneity and perform both pro- and anti-inflammatory functions. Moreover, neutrophil dysfunction and neutrophil-associated immunosuppression are also involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Given the complex functionality of this cell type, the aim of this review was to describe the possible mechanistic role of neutrophils in sepsis-associated liver injury, with a brief introduction to neutrophil recruitment and subsequent discussion of the potential contributions of neutrophils to different subtypes of sepsis-associated liver injury.
