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
background and purposeSepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) represents a critical unmet clinical challenge globally and is highlighted by the paucity of effective therapeutic interventions. Despite its clinical importance, the exacerbating factors and intricate underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Emerging evidence has highlighted the pivotal role of the cardiac lymphatic vasculature in cardiac homeostasis and repair, prompting investigations into its contributions during pathological states. In this study, we delineated the dynamics and functional significance of cardiac lymphatic vessels in SICM pathogenesis, and evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of targeted lymphangiogenesis as a novel strategy to improve poor prognosis. METHODS AND
resultsUsing a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced SICM mouse model, the evolution of cardiac lymphatic kinetics and observed reparative lymphangiogenesis was assessed in SICM. In addition, pharmacological inhibition of reparative lymphangiogenesis further exacerbated mortality rates in this model, thus highlighting its protective contributions. Adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) robustly enhance lymphangiogenesis in cardiac tissues during SICM. In vitro assays with lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) confirmed that this lymphangiogenic potency is mediated, at least in part, by vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) secreted by ADRCs. Notably, ADRC-mediated therapeutic lymphangiogenesis restored cardiac function and mitigated adverse pathological remodeling as well as significantly improved the overall prognosis in SICM-affected animals.
conclusionOur findings highlight the essential role of cardiac lymphatic vessels in improving SICM outcomes and indicate that ADRC-driven therapeutic lymphangiogenesis is a promising and innovative modality for treating this highly severe condition.
