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

Cognitive dysfunction induced by sepsis is a common clinical disease. The hippocampus is one of the brain regions most vulnerable to sepsis. However, the correlations between sepsis-mediated neural cell types, pathological characteristics, and molecular mechanisms in hippocampal tissue and brain cognitive damage remain incompletely understood. This review summarizes: (1) the pathological features and mechanisms of blood-brain barrier disruption in sepsis; (2) the pathological effects of sepsis on different types of hippocampal neurons and the underlying molecular mechanisms; (3) the activation of peripheral inflammatory cells and central resident microglia and their roles in neuronal and oligodendrocyte death, as well as synaptic pruning, along with the associated mechanisms; and (4) the activation of sepsis-induced reactive astrocytes and their impact on cognitive function. Finally, this article analyzes potential therapeutic strategies for sepsis-associated brain cognitive dysfunction.
