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

Background: Polymeric immunoglobulin receptors (pIgR) may enhance mucosal immunity or worsen an infection through transcytosis of polymeric immunoglobulins or infectious pathogens. The function of plasma pIgR in infections remains unknown. Methods: The association of plasma pIgR with the occurrence and prognosis of sepsis was investigated using human plasma. The role and underlying mechanisms of plasma pIgR were investigated in mouse models of sepsis and primary alveolar type 2 epithelial cells (AT2). Results: Quantitative proteomic and ELISA analysis revealed a significant association between plasma pIgR and the prognosis of patients of pneumonia-induced sepsis. Intravenous administrations of recombinant pIgR (r_pIgR) increased the mortality in mouse models of Conclusions: This study demonstrates that plasma pIgR is a potential prognostic marker for sepsis, and likely contributes to AT2 pyroptosis and sepsis lethality through interaction with IgM, indicating a broad pro-pathogenic role of plasma pIgR in infectious diseases.
