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

Pharmacological data obtained with hetrazepinoic platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonists, such as apafant (WEB 2086) and bepafant (WEB 2170), indicate a role for PAF in septic shock and in the priming process. The effect of PAF antagonists in different models of shock states favors a role for PAF in endotoxin associated lethality, activation of inflammatory blood cells with release of mediators, cardiovascular failure and increased vascular permeability, and in the development of shock organs and organ failure. The priming process (e.g., by endotoxin or tumor necrosis factor) towards an increased susceptibility towards minute amounts of PAF has to be taken into account when considering the pathophysiological significance of PAF under in vivo conditions and in septic shock.
