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

Extracellular histones, once regarded solely as nuclear structural proteins, are now recognized as potent mediators of thrombo-inflammation which is the pathological interface of coagulation and immunity. Released during necrosis, apoptosis, and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, histones act as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), engaging receptors such as Toll-like receptors (TLR2, TLR4, TLR9) to trigger endothelial dysfunction, platelet activation, and cytokine release. Post-translational modifications (PTMs), including citrullination, acetylation, and methylation, further modulate histone immunogenicity, cytotoxicity, and procoagulant potential. These mechanisms amplify thrombin generation, impair anticoagulant pathways, and promote vascular permeability, positioning histones as central drivers of immunothrombosis in sepsis, stroke, ARDS, COVID-19, and autoimmune disorders. Circulating histones and nucleosomes are emerging as biomarkers for disease severity and prognosis. Therapeutic strategies targeting histones, such as neutralizing antibodies, heparin derivatives, PAD inhibitors, and activated protein C, show promise in mitigating histone-driven pathology. This review highlights mechanistic insights into histone biology and explores translational opportunities for targeted interventions at the intersection of inflammation and thrombosis.
