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

objectiveTo determine whether peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma ligands improve survival of patients with septic shock we treated a mouse model of sepsis [apolipoprotein (Apo) E) knockout mice] with pioglitazone, a PPAR-gamma ligand. ApoE knockout mice have a high mortality rate due to sepsis because the endotoxin is not cleared. DESIGN AND

settingProspective study in a university laboratory. SUBJECTS: We assorted 87 male ApoE knockout mice and 60 wild-type C57/B6 mice randomly into three groups (sepsis, pretreatment, posttreatment).

interventionsCecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was carried out in the sepsis and treatment groups. Mice were injected with pioglitazone (5 mg/kg per day) on the day before CLP or 6 h after surgery. MEASUREMENTS AND

resultsBoth pre- and post-CLP treatment with pioglitazone improved survival of ApoE knockout and wild-type mice. Serum levels of cytokines and chemokines and myeloperoxidase activity in lung and liver were suppressed in the pioglitazone-treated group. Pioglitazone also suppressed monocyte adhesion to vascular endothelium under flow conditions.

conclusionsPioglitazone improved survival of ApoE knockout mice after onset of septic shock through suppression of inflammatory responses.
