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: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by systemic inflammation and thrombo-inflammation, which trigger platelet activation and platelet-leukocyte aggregate (PLA) formation. While Rg3-enriched red ginseng extract (Rg3-RGE) has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic properties, its role in modulating PLAs during sepsis remains poorly understood. Methods: The Results: Rg3-RGE significantly reduced the activated platelets (CD41+CD62P+), platelet-neutrophil aggregates (PNAs; CD41+Ly6G+), and platelet-monocyte aggregates (PMAs; CD41+CD115+). Confocal imaging confirmed a reduction in PNAs. SEM revealed decreased fibrin-like structures and fewer platelet-leukocyte interactions. Rg3-RGE lowered plasma TF levels, indicating a potential effect on the coagulation cascade, though PF4 levels were not significantly altered. Network pharmacology analysis of ginsenosides in Rg3-RGE identified 235 overlapping targets associated with sepsis, inflammation, platelet activation, and PLA formation. Enrichment analysis revealed key thrombo-inflammatory pathways, including platelet activation, MAPK signaling, PI3K-Akt signaling, sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor signaling, and EGFR signaling. Conclusion: Rg3-RGE effectively inhibits platelet-leukocyte aggregate formation and mitigates sepsis-induced platelet-leukocyte interactions.
