Variation of Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Factors in Severe Burns: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis 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 1 paper.
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
Burn injury triggers a complex inflammatory cascade in which the interplay between pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators determines recovery or progression to sepsis, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) or multi-organ dysfunction, and mortality. We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus for studies published between 2006 and 2024, identifying 1883 records. We conducted a comprehensive systematic review in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. After screening and eligibility assessment, 24 studies covering both pediatric and adult populations met the inclusion criteria. Data on cytokines, acute-phase proteins, complement fragments, and systemic inflammatory indices were synthesized narratively. The evidence indicates that the inflammatory response to burn injury is not a linear sequence of events but a dynamic and unstable equilibrium, where outcomes are determined less by the initial magnitude of cytokine release and more by the persistence of dysregulated inflammation or failure of compensatory mechanisms.
