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

backgroundThere is limited information on the regional inflammatory effects of mechanical ventilation and endotoxemia on the production of acute lung injury. Measurement of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) uptake with positron emission tomography allows for the regional, in vivo and noninvasive, assessment of neutrophilic inflammation. The authors tested whether mild endotoxemia combined with large tidal volume mechanical ventilation bounded by pressures within clinically acceptable limits could yield measurable and anatomically localized neutrophilic inflammation.

methodsSheep were mechanically ventilated with plateau pressures = 30-32 cm H2O and positive end-expiratory pressure = 0 for 2 h. Six sheep received intravenous endotoxin (10 ng x kg x min), whereas six did not (controls), in sequentially performed studies. The authors imaged with positron emission tomography the intrapulmonary kinetics of infused N-nitrogen and F-FDG to compute regional perfusion and F-FDG uptake. Transmission scans were used to assess aeration.

resultsMean gas fraction and perfusion distribution were similar between groups. In contrast, a significant increase in F-FDG uptake was observed in all lung regions of the endotoxin group. In this group, F-FDG uptake in the middle and dorsal regions was significantly larger than that in the ventral regions. Multivariate analysis showed that the F-FDG uptake was associated with regional aeration (P < 0.01) and perfusion (P < 0.01).

conclusionsMild short-term endotoxemia in the presence of heterogeneous lung aeration and mechanical ventilation with pressures within clinically acceptable limits produces marked spatially heterogeneous increases in pulmonary neutrophilic inflammation. The dependence of inflammation on aeration and perfusion suggests a multifactorial basis for that finding. F-FDG uptake may be a sensitive marker of pulmonary neutrophilic inflammation in the studied conditions.
