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

backgroundDuring sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC), the balance of coagulation, anticoagulation, and fibrinolysis is disrupted, and endothelial dysfunction plays a key role in the disease progression. Current studies have indicated that the Proviral integration site for Moloney murine leukemia virus 1 (Pim-1) can promote thrombosis and activate an autoimmune response. This study aimed to assess the relevance of inhibiting Pim-1 as a potential therapeutic target for SIC.

methodsWild-type, Pim-1-KO, and TLR4-KO mice were categorized into the sham and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) groups. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were classified into the control, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, and intervention groups. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect plasma coagulation index in mice. Western blotting and immunofluorescence were employed to examine protein expression in tissues or cells. Additionally, immunohistochemistry and hematoxylin and eosin staining were conducted to detect liver/lung tissue damage. Tissue factor (TF) promoter activity was detected using a dual-luciferase reporter assay.

resultsPim-1 kinase inhibition decreased the coagulation response of sepsis mice and improved the survival rate. Pim-1 activated the LPS-induced HUVECs downstream mTOR/Sp1 pathway, promoted TF activity. Pim-1 is mediated by the upstream TLR4 pathway to promote TF activity in LPS-induced HUVECs.

conclusionsInhibiting the activity of Pim-1 kinase may be an effective way to improve the function of endothelial cells and treat SIC.
