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

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction syndrome triggered by infection, characterized by profound metabolic disturbances and multisystem dysfunction throughout its clinical course. Branched-chain amino acids not only participate in protein homeostasis and energy metabolism but also regulate the pathophysiological processes of sepsis through multiple signaling pathways. This review systematically synthesizes current research advancements on BCAAs in sepsis, with particular emphasis on the correlation between BCAA metabolic alterations and clinical outcomes, as well as their impacts on nutritional metabolism, muscular homeostasis, and immune function in septic patients. Furthermore, we critically analyze the limitations of current clinical interventions involving BCAAs and propose future research directions, highlighting the necessity for in-depth exploration of precision BCAAs supplementation strategies tailored to different sepsis stages and their underlying mechanisms.
