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

To discuss the influence of dexamethasone on NF-kappaB expression of pancreas in rat with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Ninety rat SAP models were divided into the model group and dexamethasone treatment group with 45 rats in each group; another healthy 45 rats were selected to be the sham operation group. The groups were divided into the 3, 6 and 12 h group with 15 rats in each group. The survivals, pancreas pathological changes were observed 3, 6 and 12 h after operation. The changes in expression levels of NF-kappaB protein of pancreas tissue microarray were observed. The treatment group was significantly lower than the model group at 3 and 6 h (P < 0.05) and than the model group at 12 h in pancreas pathological scores (P < 0.01). The expression level of NF-kappaB protein of pancreas head of the treatment group was significantly less than that of the model group at 3 h (P < 0.01). The alleviation of pancreatic tissue injury by dexamethasone during SAP might be closely related to its role in inhibiting NF-kappaB expression and regulating cytokines. The advantages of tissue microarrays in pancreatitis pathological examination include time and energy savings, high efficiency and representative results.
