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 investigate the protective effects of early enteral feeding (EEF) on postburn impairments of renal function and their possible mechanisms.

methodsWistar rats with 30 % of total body surface area (TBSA) full-thickness burn were adopted as the experimental model. The effects of EEF on the postburn changes of gastric intramucosal pH (pHi), endotoxin levels in portal vein, water contents of renal tissue, and blood concentrations of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha), urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), as well as the changes of clearance of creatinine (CCr) were dynamically observed within 48 h postburn.

resultsEEF could significantly improve gastric mucosal acidosis, reduce portal vein endotoxin levels and water contents of renal tissue, as well as blood concentrations of TNF-alpha after severe burns (P<0.01). The postburn elevations of BUN and BCr were not found to be recovered by EEF. However, the CCr in EEF group was greatly increased by 4.67-fold compared with that of the non-feeding burned control (16.43+/-2.90 vs. 3.52+/-0.79, P<0.01).

conclusionEEF has beneficial effects on the improvement of renal function in severely burned rats, which may be related to its increase of splanchnic blood flow, decrease of the translocation of gut-origin endotoxin and the release of inflammatory mediators.
