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

Suppression of endotoxin release and subsequent production of inflammatory cytokines is crucial in the treatment of septic shock. We investigated the effect of clindamycin (CLI) on endotoxic shock induced in mice by Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Mice were treated with CLI (160 to 600 mg/kg) or saline and then injected with E. coli LPS and D-(+)-galactosamine intraperitoneally 0.5 h after CLI administration. Pretreatment with CLI significantly improved survival in a dose-dependent manner (CLI, at 160, 300, and 440 mg/kg) and significantly lowered the peak concentrations of tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) in serum. However, the peak concentrations of IL-6 in the sera of CLI-treated mice were higher than in control mice. Our findings suggest that CLI alters LPS-induced inflammatory cytokine production and suppresses endotoxin-induced mortality in this murine model.
