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

backgroundRecent data indicate that pneumoperitoneal carbondioxide (CO2) insufflation impairs hepatic macro- and microcirculation. Whether dopamine and endothelin-1 (ET-1) antagonists might restore liver blood during laparoscopic surgery has not yet been investigated.

methodsFor this study, 30 male WAG/Rij rats were randomized into two groups to obtain pneumoperitoneum with CO2 (n=15) or helium (n = 15). All the animals were implanted with a polyethylene-50 cannula into the right vena jugularis and a Doppler ultrasound flow probe around the portal vein. In each group, the rats were administered dopamine (n = 5); JKC-10, JKC-301, which is a selective endothelin-1 (ET-1) antagonist (n = 5), or sodium chloride as a control (n = 5). Portal blood flow was measured during intraabdominal pressures 2 to 12 mmHg. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis h-test.

resultsThe application of dopamine and ET-1 antagonists significantly improved portal blood flow over that of the control animals (p <0.05). No significant differences were found between CO2 and helium insufflation (P > 0.05).

conclusionsDopamine and ET-1 antagonism restore portal blood flow during laparoscopic surgery independently of the insufflation gas. Whether improved hepatic perfusion might have beneficial effects on liver function needs further investigation.
