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

The effect of Shiga-like toxin II (SLT-II) (2 microg/animal), which was derived from Escherichia coli O157:H7, on renal handling of levofloxacin (LVX), a model drug for quinolone antimicrobial agents, was investigated in rats 24 h after intravenous injection. In histopathological examination, acute tubular injury was observed in SLT-II-treated rats, but the glomeruli were not injured. SLT-II significantly increased the steady-state concentration of LVX in plasma to 1.5-fold that of control rats. SLT-II induced significant decreases in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal clearance (CL(R)) of LVX. SLT-II slightly, but significantly, increased the unbound fraction and decreased renal plasma flow with no change in the extraction ratio of p-aminohippurate. SLT-II significantly increased concentrations of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and nitrite and nitrate (NOx) in plasma. The TNF-alpha inhibitor pentoxifylline partly, but significantly, inhibited SLT-II-induced decreases in the GFR and CL(R) of LVX; in contrast, S-methylisothiourea, a selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase, did not. Western blotting analysis revealed that SLT-II did not alter the levels of multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp2) and P-glycoprotein in kidneys 24 h after injection, assuming the lack of involvement of Mrp2 and P-glycoprotein in SLT-II-induced acute renal tubular injury and renal handling of LVX observed 24 h after SLT-II injection. The present study suggests that SLT-II impairs the renal handling of LVX by decreasing GFR and causing decreased renal plasma flow.
