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

We evaluated the changes in the levels of released cytokines following heat preconditioning of the livers used in rat liver transplantation. The donor rats in the heat preconditioning (HP) group were subjected to heat preconditioning 48 h before graft harvesting. The liver isografts were preserved in Euro-Collins solution for 8 h, and then transplanted orthotopically. The one-week survival rate of the HP group was significantly better than that of the control (C) group. The serum levels of interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 were significantly lower in the HP group than in the C group. Histological staining revealed that the stagnation of red blood cells and infiltration of neutrocytes were reduced in the HP group. The expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 was decreased around the central vein in the HP group, as revealed by immunohistochemistry. These results indicate that heat preconditioning downregulates cytokine release and reduces the frequency of microcirculation disorders.
