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

The immune response gene 1 (IRG1) and its metabolite itaconate are implicated in modulating inflammation and oxidative stress, with potential relevance to sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD). This study investigates their roles in SIMD using both in vivo and in vitro models. Mice were subjected to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis, and cardiac function was assessed in IRG1 knockout (IRG1-/-) and wild-type mice. Exogenous 4-octyl itaconate (4-OI) supplementation was also examined for its protective effects. In vitro, bone marrow-derived macrophages and RAW264.7 cells were treated with 4-OI following Nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2 (NRF2)-small interfering RNA administration to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Our results indicate that IRG1 deficiency exacerbates myocardial injury during sepsis, while 4-OI administration preserves cardiac function and reduces inflammation. Mechanistic insights reveal that 4-OI activates the NRF2/HO-1 pathway, promoting macrophage polarization and attenuating inflammation. These findings underscore the protective role of the IRG1/itaconate axis in SIMD and suggest a therapeutic potential for 4-OI in modulating macrophage responses.
