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

Rates of liquid secretion and absorption across the bronchopulmonary airways are important for regulating airway surface liquid volume and maintaining mucociliary transport. The current study demonstrates the feasibility of measuring not just net liquid movements but unidirectional liquid movements across isolated intact bronchi from swine. Airways were liquid filled to assess both net liquid movements, and, in the presence of NPPB to selectively inhibit secretion, unidirectional absorption. Unidirectional liquid secretion rates were determined by subtraction. For comparison, net liquid movements were assessed in air-filled airways in parallel. In the absence of secretagogues, unidirectional absorption was observed (4.63 +/- 0.53 microl.cm(-2).h(-1)) with little unidirectional secretion (1.42 +/- 0.36 microl.cm(-2).h(-1)). ACh, substance P (SP), and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) all induced unidirectional secretion (10.64 +/- 1.52 microl.cm(-2).h(-1), 14.16 +/- 1.39 microl.cm(-2).h(-1), and 4.25 +/- 0.25 microl.cm(-2).h(-1), respectively) without affecting unidirectional absorption. Net liquid secretion in air-filled airways was close to that in liquid-filled airways except with VIP. VIP induced net secretion in air-filled airways (4.44 +/- 1.26 microl.cm(-2).h(-1)), but negligible net change in liquid movement occurred in liquid-filled airways. This effect was likely to have been caused by the higher solid content of the VIP-induced mucous liquid (3.98 +/- 0.26%) compared with the ACh- and SP-induced liquid (2.06 +/- 0.07% and 2.15 +/- 0.07%, respectively). We conclude that this technique allows important quantitative distinctions to be made between liquid secretion and absorption in intact bronchial airways.
