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

Lactate accumulation is strongly associated with poor neurological outcomes in traumatic brain injury (TBI), creating a "lactate paradox" given its role as an energy substrate in the early stages of trauma. Imbalanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as cell injury factors throughout the pathological progression of TBI. This study aims to elucidate the key mechanisms connecting dysregulated lactate metabolism and cellular damage. We discovered that the high-lactate environment induced by TBI drives lysine lactylation of the mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), inhibiting its enzymatic activity and leading to mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) accumulation. Mechanistically, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase 2 (AARS2) and NAD
