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

Neutral endopeptidase (NEP), which degrades substance P (SP), may regulate neutrophil activation during Mg-deficiency (MgD). Male Sprague-Dawley rats (180g) were fed MgD (approximately 50 mg Mg/kg) or Mg-sufficient (MgS, 608 mg Mg/kg) diets for 7 days +/- NEP inhibitor phosphoramidon (PR, 5 mg/kg/day, s.c.). MgD alone induced a 9-fold (vs. MgS, p <0.01) elevation in plasma SP; MgD+PR enhanced it further to 18-fold (p <0.001). Neutrophils from MgD+PR rats displayed a 3.9-fold higher (p <0.01) basal .O(2-) generation, but those from MgD or PR alone were not activated. Plasma PGE2-metabolite levels rose 2.67- (p <0.01) and 1.56- (p <0.05) fold, respectively, in MgD+PR and MgD groups; the corresponding red blood cell glutathione levels were decreased 21% (p <0.025) and 7% (NS). MgD+PR significantly reduced neutrophil NEP activity by 48% (p <0.02); PR or MgD alone only reduced this activity 26% and 15%, respectively. We conclude that NEP inhibition potentiates SP-mediated neutrophil .O(2-) production and may promote other inflammatory activities during MgD.
