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

purposeBacterial translocation is a frequent complication in portal hypertension related to cirrhosis in the human clinical area. The aim of this study was to verify the existence of intestinal bacterial translocation to mesenteric lymph nodes in male Wistar rats with triple partial portal vein ligation during short- (48 h) and long-term (1 month) postoperative evolution.

resultsAt 48 h, ileal total aerobes bacteria (p < 0.001) and Lactobacillus decrease in sham-operated (SO) and portal hypertensive (PH) rats. At 1 month, ileal Enterococci and Streptococcus sp. show a statistically significant decrease in SO- and PH-rats. Lactobacillus decreases in the colon in SO- (p < 0.01) and in PH-rats (p < 0.001). At 1 month, colonic Enterococci decreases compared to control (p < 0.001) and SO-rats (p < 0.01). These intestinal microfloral changes are associated with bacterial translocation to mesenteric lymph nodes at 48 h (50%; p = 0.004) and 1 month (100%; p < 0.001) of postoperative evolution in PH-rats.

conclusionsThe enlargement of the stenosed portal tract related to triple partial portal vein ligation in the rat, since it increases the resistance to the portal blood flow, may be a key factor involved in one of the pathological consequences of portal hypertension, as is bacterial translocation to mesenteric lymph nodes.
