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

Introduction: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play a critical role in inflammation and coagulation imbalance. Recent studies have demonstrated that activation of gasdermin D (GSDMD) protein and its pore-forming activity are essential drivers of NET generation. This study investigated the association between GSDMD-NETs axis activation and sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC), as well as the potential association with glycocalyx damage. Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort of 70 sepsis patients (35 with SIC, 35 non-SIC) admitted to a respiratory intensive care unit was analyzed. This study was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) with the registration number ChiCTR2500100284. The trial can be accessed at https://www.chictr.org.cn/bin/project/edit?pid=266738. Plasma levels of GSDMD-NETs biomarkers (N-GSDMD, MPO-DNA) and glycocalyx injury markers (syndecan-1, MMP-9) were measured via ELISA. Clinical outcomes, thrombotic/hemorrhagic events, and biomarker correlations were evaluated using logistic regression, ROC analysis, and Pearson's correlation. Results: Compared to non-SIC patients, the SIC group exhibited higher rates of viral infections (31.4% Conclusion: The activation of the GSDMD-NETs axis is strongly associated with the development of SIC, glycocalyx injury, and adverse clinical outcomes in sepsis, potentially contributing to these pathological processes. Plasma N-GSDMD and MPO-DNA serve as predictive biomarkers for SIC severity and mortality, highlighting their potential role in targeted therapeutic strategies.
