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.
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
backgroundCholestatic liver diseases induce local and systemic hypercoagulation, with neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) serving as major drivers. These NETs have been linked to decreased liver function in patients with obstructive jaundice. However, the impact of NETs on liver hypercoagulation in cholestatic liver disease remains unknown.
methodsWe utilized bile duct ligation to create experimental mice and analyzed NETs formation in the liver. Fibrin deposition, tissue factor expression, and inflammation in the liver were visualized through western blot and immunohistochemical techniques. LSECs were incubated with isolated NETs, and we detected endothelial procoagulant activity using coagulation protein production assays and measuring endothelial permeability. In both in vivo and in vitro settings, DNase I was applied to clarify the effect of NETs on intrahepatic hypercoagulability, hepatotoxicity, LSEC, and macrophage activation or injury.
resultsBile duct ligation mice exhibited significantly increased levels of NETs in liver tissue, accompanied by neutrophil infiltration, tissue necrosis, fibrin deposition, and thrombophilia compared to sham mice. Notably, NETs resulted in phosphatidylserine and tissue factor exposure on LSEC, enhancing coagulation Factor Xa and thrombin production. The enhanced procoagulant activity could be reversed by degrading NETs with DNase I. Additionally, NETs-induced permeability changes in LSECs, characterized by increased VE-cadherin expression and F-actin retraction, which could be rescued by DNase I. Meanwhile, NET formation is associated with KC activation and the formation of inflammatory factors.
conclusionsNETs promote intrahepatic activation of coagulation and inflammation, leading to liver tissue injury. Strategies targeting NET formation may offer a potential therapeutic approach for treating cholestatic liver disease.
