The influence of G-CSF addition to antibiotic treatment of experimental sepsis on pulmonary tissue.
Article in Journal of the National Medical Association, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 effects of G-CSF addition to antibiotic treatment of experimental sepsis on pulmonary lung tissue. MATERIALS AND
methodsFifty Sprague-Dawley rats were used. The first four groups received a bolus intraperitoneal injection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The first group (Group SAG) received a combined therapy of imipenem and G-CSF, the second group (Group SA) received only imipenem, the third group (Group SG) received only G-CSF, and no antibiotic or G-CSF was given to the fourth group (Group S). The fifth group (Group C) served as the control. Survival rates, peripheral leukocyte counts (PLC) and absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) were obtained, and lung tissues were examined under light microscopy.
resultsSurvival rates at the 120th hour were 100% in groups SAG, SA and C; 20% in group SG; and 0% in group S. PLC and ANC values reached their highest levels at the 36th hour in the SAG group and at the 60th hour in the SA group. Pulmonary architecture was better preserved in the SAG, SA and SG groups--in that order--than in the S group.
conclusionParticularly in the early phase of infection, the administration of G-CSF in combination with antibiotics would be appropriate for maximizing the effect of antibiotics as soon as possible and for minimizing the damage caused by inflammation.
