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 is a life-threatening condition caused by dysregulated host responses to infection, characterized by excessive inflammation and abnormal coagulation. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation bridges these two pathological processes. Through both in vivo and in vitro experiments, it is observed that Emodin, a natural anthraquinone derivative derived from Dahuang, significantly ameliorates the cytokine storm and coagulation abnormalities induced by sepsis, demonstrating remarkable efficacy in inhibiting NETs formation. Furthermore, through protein microarrays, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), pull-down assays, and molecular docking analyses, BCL-10 is established as a direct target of Emodin, providing protective effects in both in vivo and in vitro settings. Through conditional knockout of BCL-10 in neutrophils, alongside single-cell sequencing analyses, it is confirmed that BCL-10 is key in promoting excessive NET formation in sepsis. Additionally, Emodin exerts powerful protective effects by modulating the function of the BCL-10/MALT1 complex, thereby alleviating the NF-κB signaling activation and inhibiting NETs formation. Collectively, these findings provide pharmacological evidence that Emodin targeted BCL-10 regulates the BCL-10/MALT1 complex and suppresses NF-κB activation, ultimately conferring significant multiorgan protective effects in sepsis. The conduct of this study provides new clues for the translational research of Emodin and its target BCL-10 in sepsis.
