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

OBJECTIVE AND

designReactive oxygen species, and also reactive species of nitrogen such as nitric oxide, play an important role in the pathogenesis of peritonitis and septic shock. Ozone oxidative preconditioning (OOP) has shown protective effects in various experimental models of peritonitis in rats and endotoxic shock in mice. Currently, strong evidence is available that this protective effect of OOP is due to its action on the balance between endogenous antioxidants and pro-oxidants, which is favorable for anti-oxidant defense. The aim of this research was to elucidate whether or not OOP is able to reduce nitrite levels in blood serum of mice treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We used an experimental model of endotoxic shock induced by LPS in mice in which the animals were pre-treated with ozone/oxygen mixture for 5 days (once daily), with injection of LPS 24 h thereafter to induce endotoxic shock.

resultsMice pretreated with OOP showed a significant decrease in nitrite levels with all three doses tested [0.2 mg/kg (50.91%), 0.4 mg/kg (47.3%) and 1.2 mg/kg (34.6%)].

conclusionsOzone oxidative preconditioning significantly reduced nitrite levels in blood serum of mice with endotoxic shock induced by LPS. We propose that OOP merits further testing in studies as a potential alternative treatment to reduce nitrite levels in patients with sepsis syndrome and septic shock.
