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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsGender dimorphism in clinical manifestation of sepsis, hemorrhage, and trauma is still under investigation. Several experimental studies have indicated a protective effect of estrogen. Nonetheless, the effect of gender on hepatic ischemia/reperfusion remains controversially discussed, and the influence of estrogen is still unclear. In the present study, we investigated whether hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is gender-dependent and if hepatic microvascular reperfusion injury can be prevented by estrogen. MATERIALS AND

methodsEight female and eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 90 min left lobar ischemia followed by 60 min reperfusion. Additional six males were pretreated with 17beta-estradiol 24 h before I/R. Six female and six male rats served as nonischemic sham animals. By means of intravital microscopy, sinusoidal perfusion, leukocyte-endothelial cell interaction, and Kupffer cell activity were analyzed. Finally, arterial blood and liver tissue samples were taken for histomorphological analysis and liver enzyme determination.

resultsAfter hepatic ischemia/reperfusion, animals revealed a significant gender-specific impairment of hepatic microcirculation, whereas Kupffer cell depression, sinusoidal perfusion failure, leukocyte-endothelial cell interaction within post sinusoidal venules, and parenchymal liver cell damage were more pronounced in male animals. Pretreatment with estrogen caused a normalization of Kupffer cell dysfunction and an amelioration of sinusoidal perfusion failure and venular leukocyte-endothelial cell interaction. However, estrogen did not protect from manifestation of post ischemic parenchymal cell damage.

conclusionHepatic ischemia and reperfusion generate a gender-specific occurrence of microvascular injury, which seems to be partially mediated by estrogen. However, additional factors may contribute to the initial post ischemic parenchymal cell damage.
