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

backgroundSepsis-induced myocardial injury (SIMI) contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality in sepsis, but its molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), an endogenous signaling molecule, regulates inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell death in cardiovascular diseases, with protein sulfhydration as a key mechanism.

methodsWe used in vitro and in vivo sepsis models we investigated the protective to examine the effects of H₂S donors (GYY4137 and Allicin) on SIMI. We focused on ferroptosis and the HIF1α/BNIP3 axis, and applied transcriptomic, proteomic, and molecular biology approaches.

resultsSepsis suppressed the CSE/H₂S pathway, increasing ferroptosis and myocardial injury. Exogenous H₂S attenuated cardiac dysfunction, inflammation, and cell death. Mechanistically, H₂S promoted HSPA8 sulfhydration at Cys574, enhancing HIF1α degradation and inhibiting BNIP3, thereby reducing oxidative stress, ferroptosis, and myocardial damage. Allicin, a natural H₂S donor, induced endogenous H₂S production, restored HSPA8 sulfhydration, and provided cardioprotection without toxicity.

conclusionThis study reveals a novel H₂S-HSPA8-HIF1α-BNIP3 axis in regulating ferroptosis and myocardial injury during sepsis. Protein sulfhydration mediates the cardioprotective effects of H₂S, and Allicin emerges as a promising therapeutic agent for septic cardiomyopathy.
