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

backgroundThe systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a complex and multifactorial life-threatening reaction triggered by trauma or infection (sepsis). Since the dynamics of immune cells, cytokines and novel markers such as circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) remain incompletely elucidated, we aimed to provide a comprehensive multiparametric characterization of this severe response, to identify potential prognostic and therapeutic targets.

methodsWe conducted a multiparametric and sequential quantification of up to 25 immune cell circulating populations using next-generation flow cytometry, assessed plasma cytokine levels with Luminex technology, and the characterized and quantified EVs and their microRNA content. Peripheral blood samples were taken at 0, 24 and 72 h after SIRS onset from 25 patients with polytrauma-induced SIRS (PT group) and 25 developed SIRS from other origins, such as pulmonary or urinary infections (NP-denoting non-polytrauma group). Samples from 21 healthy donors (HD) were analysed as a control group. Statistical analyses were performed to compare experimental groups (PT, NP, HD) and to evaluate correlations between experimental findings and patients' outcomes for potential prognostic markers discovery.

resultsSIRS patients exhibited increased leukocyte counts driven by neutrophil mobilization combined with a reduction of dendritic cells and lymphocytes early after the SIRS. The PT group showed an increase in classical monocytes, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and mesenchymal stromal cells compared to HD. These dynamics occurred alongside substantial chemokine release, including IL-8, G-CSF, CCL2 in both SIRS groups, MIF in PT and CCL4 in NP. Both SIRS groups experienced a pronounced cytokine storm with simultaneous release of both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and increased of plasma EV levels. Our findings suggest that elevated IL-8 concentrations and increased counts of circulating monocytes and MDSCs are associated with worse prognosis and may serve as valuable prognostic indicators in SIRS patients.

conclusionsOur study demonstrates the dynamic kinetics of multiple cell subsets, cytokines and EVs during SIRS, highlighting differences between SIRS initiated by polytrauma versus non-polytrauma events and identifying correlations between biological findings and patient outcomes.
