Carbon Monoxide as a Molecular Modulator of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury: New Insights for Translational Application in Organ Transplantation.
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 2 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
Carbon monoxide (CO) is generally recognized as a toxic gas; however, it has recently been identified as an endogenous gasotransmitter with significant cytoprotective properties. CO modulates key molecular pathways, including anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, antioxidant, and vasodilatory signaling pathways, by targeting heme- and non-heme-containing proteins. These proteins include soluble guanylate cyclase, cytochrome P450 enzymes, MAPKs, and NLRP3. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms associated with the protective effects of CO, particularly in the context of ischemia-reperfusion injury relevant to organ transplantation. We discuss preclinical data from rodent and large animal models, as well as therapeutic delivery strategies, such as inhalation, CO-releasing molecules, and gas-entrapping materials. We also reviewed early-phase clinical trials. The objective of this review is to provide a thorough exploration of CO as a potential therapeutic gas, with special emphasis on its application in transplantation.
