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

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is characterized by biphasic systemic inflammation, progressing from initial pro-inflammatory systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) to subsequent immunosuppressive compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome (CARS), which increases infection risks and predicts poor prognosis. Using a pancreatic duct ligation and caerulein-induced SAP murine model, we demonstrate that macrophage extracellular traps (METs) play a pivotal role in immune regulation. Mechanistically, acinar cell activation of the cGAS-STING pathway triggers pyroptosis-mediated IL-33 release. METs subsequently process IL-33 into highly bioactive isoforms through METs-derived proteases (including MMP-12), thereby initiating ST2 receptor-mediated type-2 immune responses. Clinical validation revealed elevated serum METs marker and IL-33 levels in SAP patients. Therapeutic interventions with DNase I and Cl-amidine significantly attenuated IL-33 release, Th2 cell activation, and disease severity in experimental models. Our findings establish METs as critical regulators of SAP-associated CARS and propose METs inhibition as a promising therapeutic strategy for SAP management.
