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

Inflammation-induced cardiac dysfunction, driven by an abnormal immune response, significantly contributes to sepsis-related mortality. Controlling excessive pro-inflammatory cytokine production by immune cells remains a significant challenge. This study investigated the role of N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) in macrophage activation and its contribution to inflammation-induced cardiac dysfunction. Using bone marrow-derived macrophages and an endotoxemia mouse model, we found that NAT10 is significantly upregulated in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) due to the deubiquitinating enzyme USP39, which stabilizes the NAT10 protein. ac4C RNA sequencing identified ETS2 as a direct target of NAT10, where the ac4C modification enhanced ETS2 mRNA stability and translation, promoting a pro-inflammatory phenotype in macrophages. NAT10 deficiency reduces LPS-induced macrophage activation and cytokine production, improving cardiac function in mice. Pharmacological inhibition of NAT10 using remodelin produced similar protective effects. Our findings reveal a novel post-transcriptional pathway and highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting NAT10 to mitigate inflammation-induced cardiac injury in endotoxemia.
