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

beta(2)-adrenergic receptors are present throughout the lung, including the alveolar airspace, where they play an important role for regulation of the active Na(+) transport needed for clearance of excess fluid out of alveolar airspace. beta(2)-adrenergic receptor signaling is required for up-regulation of alveolar epithelial active ion transport in the setting of excess alveolar edema. The positive, protective effects of beta(2)-adrenergic receptor signaling on alveolar active Na(+) transport in normal and injured lungs provide substantial support for the use of beta-adrenergic agonists to accelerate alveolar fluid clearance in patients with cardiogenic and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. In this review, we summarize the role of beta(2)-adrenergic receptors in the alveolar epithelium with emphasis on their role in the regulation of alveolar active Na(+) transport in normal and injured lungs.
