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

purposeThis study was undertaken to determine the effects of intratracheal administration of endotoxin on hyperoxia-induced lung injury in neonatal rats. MATERIALS AND

methodsNewborn Sprague Dawley rat pups were divided into four experimental groups: normoxia control (NC), normoxia with endotoxin treatment (NE), hyperoxia control (HC), and hyperoxia with endotoxin treatment (HE) groups. In HC and HE, rat pups were subjected to 14 days of hyperoxia (> 95% oxygen) within 12 hours after birth. In endotoxin treated group (NE and HE), Escherichia coli endotoxin (0.5microg in 0.03mL of saline) was given intratracheally at the 1st, 3rd and 5th postnatal day. Radial alveolar count (RAC), mean linear intercept (MLI), RAC/MLI ratios, and degree of fibrosis were measured to assess the changes in lung morphology.

resultsDuring the research period, survival rates in both HC and HE were notably reduced 7 days after endotoxin was administered, but body weight gain was considerably reduced only in HC. On day 14, significant arrest in alveolarization, as evidenced by the decrease of RAC and RAC/MLI ratio and increase of MLI as well as increased fibrosis, were noted in HC. Although slight but significant arrest in alveolarization and increased fibrosis score were observed in NE compared to NC, the hyperoxia-induced lung damage observed in HC was significantly improved in HE.

conclusionThis study suggests that intratracheal administration of endotoxin significantly attenuated hyperoxia-induced lung injury in neonatal rats.
