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

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a critical gastrointestinal disorder observed in neonates, defined by intestinal inflammation and tissue necrosis. This research examines the involvement of gasdermin D (GSDMD) in platelet pyroptosis and its effect on the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the context of NEC. Clinical data from preterm infants diagnosed with NEC revealed increased inflammatory markers along with signs of platelet pyroptosis. Furthermore, platelet-derived exosomes, identified through transmission electron microscopy and Western blot analysis, were found to facilitate NET formation. In experimental models, the depletion of platelets resulted in decreased levels of NETs and exosome release, while pharmacological inhibition of GSDMD using disulfiram alleviated intestinal injury and enhanced survival rates. Our mechanistic investigations identified mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidized mitochondrial DNA (ox-mtDNA) as crucial mediators connecting platelet pyroptosis to NET formation. These findings indicate that targeting GSDMD may offer a promising therapeutic approach for NEC by diminishing excessive NET formation and the resultant inflammatory response.
