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

Necrosis is an overarching term that describes cell death modalities caused by (extreme) adverse conditions in which cells lose structural integrity. A guaranteed consequence of necrosis is the production of necrotic cell remnants, or debris. Necrotic cell debris is a strong trigger of inflammation, and although inflammatory responses are required for tissue healing, necrotic debris may lead to uncontrolled immune responses and collateral damage. Besides local phagocytosis by recruited leukocytes, there is accumulating evidence that extracellular mechanisms are also involved in necrotic debris clearance. In this review, we focused on systemic clearance mechanisms present in the bloodstream and vasculature that often cooperate to drive the clearance of cell debris. We reviewed the contribution and cooperation of extracellular DNases, the actin-scavenger system, the fibrinolytic system and reticuloendothelial cells in performing clearance of necrotic debris. Moreover, associations of the (mis)functioning of these clearance systems with a variety of diseases were provided, illustrating the importance of the mechanisms of clearance of dead cells in the organism.
