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

Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction strongly contributes to high mortality in patients with sepsis by exacerbating systemic organ failure; however, the onset and molecular mechanisms driving this vicious cycle remain unclear. Here, we revealed that DRP1-mediated mitochondrial fission and excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation are central to the disruption of mitophagy flux and triggering of inflammatory cascades. Using cecal ligation and puncture mice and lipopolysaccharide-treated HL-1 cell models, combined with advanced imaging and molecular analyses, we demonstrated that elevated ROS activates the RIP1/RIP3 pathway, impairing mitophagy flux and promoting the release of microvesicles containing mitochondrial inner membrane components and mitochondrial DNA. These microvesicles amplify inflammatory responses through the cGAS-STING and RIP1/RIP3 pathways, driving the production of damage- and pathogen-associated molecular patterns. This study highlights two interlinked vicious cycles, mitophagy flux disruption and damage- and pathogen-associated molecular pattern amplification, as critical drivers of sepsis-induced myocardial injury, providing therapeutic targets for mitigating inflammatory damage and improving clinical outcomes in patients with sepsis.
