Virus-derived serpin reduces immuno-coagulopathic damage in murine colitis by targeting the urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) and complement.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
A virus-derived serpin, Serp-1, has proven efficacy in treating inflammatory and coagulation disorders in preclinical and clinical studies. Serp-1 evolved over millions of years to block host immune responses, targeting serine proteases in immune and coagulation pathways. Treatment with PEGylated Serp-1 (PEGSerp-1) protein reduced lung injury in both lupus lung hemorrhage and SARS-CoV-2 models. Here, PEGSerp-1 effects on immune-coagulopathic responses is examined in a mouse colitis model. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with life-threatening complications with severe inflammation, bleeding, vasculitis, cancer and toxic megacolon. Serine protease cascades activate coagulation and complement pathways throughout the human body and are regulated by inhibitors, termed serpins, that can reduce gut inflammation. Prophylactic PEGSerp-1 significantly improved survival in severe 5% Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) colitis, reducing inflammation and crypt damage. Colon damage and inflammation were also reduced after either acute colitis induced by 5% DSS or repeat 2% DSS induced colitis. PEGSerp-1 reduced inflammatory M1 macrophage invasion, urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), fibrinogen and complement on immunohistochemical analysis. PEGSerp-1 reduced uPAR expression in human macrophage, but not colon cells. Here we report analysis of PEGSerp-1 as a tissue and macrophage targeting therapeutic for colitis, reducing immune and coagulation induced damage in the colon.
