Oxidative stress and anti-oxidant status in children with sepsis.
Article in BMC pharmacology & toxicology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundSepsis is a life-threating cause in childhood ages. The recognition and treatment early are significant for decreasing mortality. Sepsis has many factors and various biomarkers function in the pathogenesis, the stress indicators oxidants increased and antioxidants decreased. The objective of our study was to investigate the levels of thiol disulfides with and without sepsis in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). MATERIALS AND
methodsA cohort study was conducted between October 2022 and March 2023 at the PICU, comprising 64 with sepsis and 62 children without sepsis. Blood samples from sepsis and the control group were collected and centrifuged. Subsequently, the samples were stored at -80 °C until the day of the experiment. Once the requisite number of patients had been enrolled, the thiol-disulfide values in the collected samples were analysed in accordance with the ELISA kit method.
resultsThe research parameters investigated, namely total oxidant status, plasma 8-OHdG, total-native thiol and native/total thiol percent ratio, were found to be considerably elevated in the sepsis group in comparison to the control (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the oxidative stress parameters investigated (total antioxidant status, paraoxonase 1 activity, disulfide, disulfide/native thiol percent ratio, disulfide/total thiol percent ratio) were found to be significantly lower in the sepsis group than in control (p < 0.05).
conclusionsIn our study as well, we detected all antioxidant parameters are low and oxidant parameters are statistically significantly higher in sepsis. Our study posits that thiol-disulfide levels have the potential to serve as a diagnostic tool in conjunction with traditional established biomarkers of inflammation in critically ill children in the PICU who are being treated for sepsis.
