Bimodal regulation and precision therapy of neutrophil extracellular traps in liver ischemia-reperfusion injury: recent advances.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 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
Liver transplantation is the definitive therapy for end-stage liver disease, yet hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) remains a leading cause of early graft dysfunction. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) can support host defense, but dysregulated NET formation during HIRI amplifies sterile inflammation, endothelial injury, and microvascular thrombosis-making NETs an attractive, pharmacologically tractable target. This review integrates recent evidence that NET responses in HIRI are bimodally regulated and stage dependent, with distinct release programs and molecular signatures across ischemia, early reperfusion, and late repair. We summarize key biochemical control nodes governing NET generation and persistence-oxidant signaling, calcium-dependent chromatin remodeling, protease-oxidase feed-forward loops, and platelet-endothelial crosstalk that promotes intravascular NET deposition. We further discuss how NETs reshape the hepatic immune microenvironment, driving inflammatory amplification, immune suppression, and coupling to regulated cell-death circuits, thereby sustaining tissue injury and impairing graft recovery. Translational implications are highlighted through NET-related biomarkers and intervention strategies spanning NET dismantling, inhibition of NET formation, modulation of upstream priming pathways, and liver-directed delivery, including ex vivo machine perfusion as a precision platform. NETs represent a druggable hub linking inflammation, thrombosis, and cell death in HIRI, but timing and selectivity are crucial to avoid compromising antimicrobial defense. Progress requires standardized NET readouts to define therapeutic windows and mechanism-guided combination regimens that selectively suppress pathogenic NET programs to improve graft preservation and post-transplant outcomes.
