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

backgroundChemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a serious adverse reaction to chemotherapy with limited treatment options. Research has indicated that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are critical for the pathogenesis of CIPN. LPS/HMGB1 serve as important inducers of NETs. Here, we aimed to target the inhibition of NET formation (NETosis) to alleviate CIPN.

methodsOxaliplatin (L-OHP) was used to establish a CIPN model. The mice were pretreated with fucoidan to investigate the therapeutic effect. SR-A1

resultsClinically, we found that the contents of LPS, HMGB1 and NETs in the plasma of CIPN patients were significantly increased and positively correlated with the VAS score. Fucoidan decreased the LPS/HMGB1/NET contents and relieved CIPN in mice. Mechanistically, fucoidan upregulated SR-A1 expression and promoted the phagocytosis of LPS/HMGB1 by BMDMs. Fucoidan also facilitated the engulfment of NETs by BMDMs via the recognition and localization of SR-A1 and HMGB1. The therapeutic effects of fucoidan were abolished by SR-A1 knockout. RNA-seq analysis revealed that fucoidan increased sqstm1 (p62) gene expression. Fucoidan promoted the competitive binding of sqstm1 and Nrf2 to Keap1, increasing Nrf2 nuclear translocation and SR-A1 transcription. Additionally, the sequencing analysis (16 S) of microbial diversity revealed that fucoidan increased the gut microbiota diversity and abundance and increased the Bacteroides/Firmicutes ratio.

conclusionsAltogether, fucoidan promotes the SR-A1-mediated phagocytosis of LPS/HMGB1/NETs and maintains gut microbial homeostasis, which may provide a potential therapeutic strategy for CIPN.
