The Crosstalk Between NETs and the Complement Cascade: An Overview in Nephrological Autoimmune Disease.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The complement cascade and Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) represent fundamental tools in protecting the host from foreign pathogens. Complement components and relative fragments, classically assigned to the innate immunity, represent a key link with the humoral immune response. NETs are a crucial component of the innate immune response, consisting of chromatin release from activated neutrophils. These web-like structures facilitate pathogen entrapment and elimination through proteolytic degradation and antimicrobial effectors. Previous findings suggested complement components and NETs have a significant role in the pathogenesis of several diseases characterized by inflammation, such as autoimmune and infectious diseases. However, the crosstalk between NETs and the complement cascade has only recently been investigated, and several aspects still need to be fully clarified. Recent evidence seems to suggest a bidirectional link between the complement cascade and NETosis. We here present the interaction between complement components and NETs in specific autoimmune diseases that mostly affect the kidney, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Antineutrophilic Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis and antiphospholipid syndrome. The mechanisms reported here may represent specific targets for the development of possible therapeutic strategies.
