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

Viral priming refers to the host's recognition of viral components, triggering an antiviral response, and upregulating pathogen recognition receptors. When followed closely by bacterial infection, this immune activation can provoke a hyperinflammatory response, increasing the risk for secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH), multiorgan failure, and death. We developed a novel murine two-hit model of viral-primed sepsis-associated acute kidney injury using polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [poly(I:C)] for viral mimicry and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for bacterial stimulation. Male 8-wk-old C57BL/6J mice were primed with poly(I:C) [2.5 mg/kg, intraperitoneal (ip) injection] at 24 h before low-dose LPS (0.5 mg/kg, ip) (time = 0 h) and compared with vehicle-treated controls for up to 48 h. Poly(I:C) + LPS mice exhibited a significant reduction in glomerular filtration rate at 4 h post-LPS and elevated serum creatinine and urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) at 48 h, indicating sustained kidney injury. These mice also showed marked increases in plasma ferritin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) at 8 h post-LPS versus nonprimed LPS-treated mice, consistent with a hyperinflammatory state. Poly(I:C) alone induced a rapid type I interferon (IFN) response, with elevated plasma IFNα, IFNβ, and renal
