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

backgroundSepsis is a life-threatening condition with limited therapeutic options, characterized as excessive systemic inflammation and multiple organ failure. Macrophages play critical roles in sepsis pathogenesis. Although numerous studies support the critical role of Notch signaling in most inflammatory diseases, the function of Notch1 signaling in macrophages activation and its underlying molecular mechanism during sepsis has not been fully elucidated.

methodsWe evaluated Notch1 expression in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced model of septic cardiac dysfunction. Using macrophage-specific Notch1 knockout mice (NOTCH1

resultsIntraperitoneal injection of LPS markedly impaired cardiac function, increased macrophage infiltration, and elevated Notch1 expression compared with PBS-treated controls. Notch1 expression was inversely correlated with cardiac performance in LPS-treated mice. Notably, macrophage-specific deletion of Notch1 significantly improved cardiac function, whereas NICD1 overexpression worsened LPS-induced cardiac injury. NOTCH1

conclusionOur study uncovers a novel role for Notch1 in exacerbating LPS-induced septic cardiac dysfunction by suppressing mitophagy in macrophages. These findings suggest that targeting Notch1 may offer a promising therapeutic strategy to mitigate sepsis-induced inflammation by restoring proper mitophagy.
