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

aimTo study the anti-inflammatory effects of cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxic shock (ES) and further investigate its signal transduction pathways involving p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and IkappaB-alpha.

methodsEighty-four rats were divided randomly into four groups: LPS (8 mg.kg(-1), iv) induced ES; CCK-8 (40 microg.kg(-1), iv) pretreatment 10 min before LPS (8 mg.kg(-1)); CCK-8 (40 microg.kg(-1), iv) or normal saline (control) groups. The inflammatory changes of lung and spleen, phagocytic function of alveolar macrophage, quantification of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) were investigated in rats by using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, phagocytosis of Candida albicans and differential cell counting. Nitric oxide (NO) production in serum, lung and spleen was measured with the Griess reaction. The mechanism involving p38 MAPK and IkappaB-alpha signal pathways was investigated by Western blot.

resultsInflammatory changes of lung and spleen induced by LPS were alleviated by CCK-8, the increase of NO induced by LPS in serum, lung and spleen was significantly inhibited and the neutrophil infiltration in BAL was significantly reduced by CCK-8. The number of neutrophils was (52+/-10)X10(6) cells. (-1) in LPS group, while it decreased to (18+/-4)X10(6) cells. (-1) in CCK-8+LPS (P<0.01). The phagocytic rate of CCK-8 group increased to (62.49+/-9.49) %, compared with control group (48.16+/-14.20) %, P<0.05. The phagocytosis rate was (85.14+/-4.64) % in LPS group, which reduced to (59.33+/-3.14) % in CCK-8+LPS group (P<0.01). The results of phagocytosis indexes showed similar changes. CCK-8 may play an important role in increasing the expression of p38 MAPK and decreasing the degradation of IkappaB-alpha in lung and spleen of ES rats.

conclusionCCK-8 can result in anti-inflammatory effects, which may be related to activation of p38 MAPK and inhibition on the degradation of IkappaB-alpha.
