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

(1) A new group IIa sPLA2 inhibitor was compared with selective inhibitors of COX-1, COX-2 and an LTC4 antagonist for effects on local and remote tissue injuries following ischaemia and reperfusion (I/R) of the small intestine in rats. (2) In an acute model of ischaemia (30 min) and reperfusion (150 min) injury in the absence of inhibitors, there was significant intestinal haemorrhage, oedema and mucosal damage, neutropenia, elevated serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and hypotension. (3) Preischaemic treatment with the inhibitor of sPLA2 (Group IIa), at 5 mg kg-1 i.v. or 10 mg kg-1 p.o. significantly inhibited I/R-induced neutropenia, the elevation of serum levels of AST, intestinal oedema and hypotension. (4) Pretreatment with the COX-2 inhibitor celebrex (10 mg kg-1 i.v.) and the LTC4 antagonist zafirlukast (1 mg kg-1 i.v.) also showed marked improvement with I/R-induced AST, oedema and neutropenia. Hypotension was only reduced by the LTC4 antagonist. The COX-1 inhibitor flunixin (1 mg kg-1 i.v.) did not effect improvement in the markers of tissue injury. (5) Histological examination of rat I/R injury showed that all of the drugs offered some protection to the mucosal layer damage compared to no drug treatment. Given i.v., the sPLA2 inhibitor was more effective than either the COX-1 or COX-2 inhibitors in preventing rat I/R injury. (6) These results indicate that a potent new inhibitor of sPLA2 (group IIa) protects the rat small intestine from I/R injury after oral or intravenous administration. COX-2 and LTC4 inhibitors also showed some beneficial effects against intestinal I/R injury. Our study suggests that sPLA2 (Group IIa) may have a pathogenic role in intestinal I/R in rats.
