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-associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI) is a severe complication characterized by high morbidity and mortality, driven by multi-organ dysfunction. Recent evidence suggests that pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death distinct from apoptosis and necrosis, plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of S-AKI. This review examines the mechanisms of pyroptosis, focusing on inflammasome activation (e.g., NLRP3), caspase-mediated processes, and the role of Gasdermin D in renal tubular damage. We also discuss the contributions of inflammatory mediators, oxidative stress, and potential therapeutic strategies targeting pyroptosis, including inflammasome inhibitors, caspase inhibitors, and anti-inflammatory therapies. Lastly, we highlight the clinical implications and challenges in translating these findings into effective treatments, underscoring the need for personalized medicine approaches in managing S-AKI.
