Endothelial cell injury: a crucial link in microcirculatory dysfunction associated with sepsis.
Review in World journal of emergency medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundSepsis is a prevalent and severe condition, with microcirculation disruptions playing a crucial role in its progression. Endothelial cell (EC) injury is the primary factor behind microcirculatory issues. This review is to outline the pathomechanism, organ heterogeneity, biomarkers, and therapeutic implications of endothelial dysfunction in sepsis, offering references and insights for the clinical management of sepsis.
methodsA systematic search of Web of Science and PubMed from inception to June 10, 2025, limited to English publications, was conducted. Two reviewers independently identified studies on EC injury in patients with septic microcirculatory dysfunction. Duplicate articles based on multiple search criteria were excluded.
resultsFifty-nine articles, including cell, animal, and clinical studies, were included. These studies reported the effects of EC injury on the microcirculation in sepsis, including changes in vascular permeability, coagulation dysfunction, vasomotor regulation, and inflammatory responses. These pathways interact and ultimately lead to septic microcirculation disorders.
conclusionSepsis-induced endothelial dysfunction involves various interconnected mechanisms, which collectively compromise ECs and impede microcirculatory perfusion. Future research should enhance current understanding of endothelial injury mechanisms, develop synergistic multi-target strategies to disrupt this cycle, and facilitate the clinical application of endothelial markers for early intervention and dynamic assessment.
