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, a life-threatening condition caused by dysregulated host response to infection, leads to high morbidity and mortality, primarily due to sepsis-induced organ dysfunction. Oxidative stress, driven by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays a central role in sepsis pathophysiology, exacerbating inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular damage in multiple organs, including the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, brain, and skeletal muscles. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of mechanisms by which oxidative stress contributes to sepsis-induced organ injury. Most current research examining the interplay between ROS, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell death pathways such as apoptosis, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis, are animal- or cell-based. Key signaling pathways, including nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 inflammasome (NLRP3), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt), are explored as potential therapeutic targets. This review also highlights the roles of mitochondrial quality control (MQC), autophagy, and noncoding RNAs in mitigating oxidative damage.
