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

objectiveIncreased vascular permeability and inflammation are principal hallmark of sepsis. Moesin (MSN) is a membrane-associated cytoskeleton protein and crucial for the vascular endothelial function. This study is aimed at evaluating the role of MSN in endothelial injury during the process of sepsis.

methodsSerum MSN in septic patients was measured by ELISA. BALB/c mice were injected with different doses of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or underwent cecal ligation and single or double puncture (CLP) to mimic sublethal and lethal sepsis. After treatment, their serum MSN and PCT levels, wet to dry lung weights (W/D ratio), bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) protein concentrations, and lung injury scores were measured. The impact of MSN silencing on LPS-altered Rock1/myosin light chain (MLC), NF-

resultsCompared with healthy controls, serum MSN increased in septic patients and was positively correlated with SOFA scores and serum PCT levels in septic patients. LPS injection significantly increased serum the MSN and PCT expression, BALF protein levels, and W/D ratio, and the serum MSN levels were positively correlated with serum PCT, lung W/D ratio, and lung injury scores in mice. Similar results were obtained in the way of CLP modelling. LPS enhanced MSN, MLC, NF-

conclusionsIncreased serum MSN contributes to the sepsis-related endothelium damages by activating the Rock1/MLC and NF-
