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

introductionThe aims of our study were to evaluate the impact of increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) on central nervous system (CNS) cytokines (Interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor), lactate and perfusion pressures, testing the hypothesis that intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) may possibly lead to CNS ischemia.

methodsFifteen pigs were studied. Helium pneumoperitoneum was established and IAP was increased initially at 20 mmHg and subsequently at 45 mmHg, which was finally followed by abdominal desufflation. Interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) and lactate were measured in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and intracranial (ICP), intraspinal (ISP), cerebral perfusion (CPP) and spinal perfusion (SPP) pressures recorded.

resultsIncreased IAP (20 mmHg) was followed by a statistically significant increase in IL-6 (p = 0.028), lactate (p = 0.017), ICP (p < 0.001) and ISP (p = 0.001) and a significant decrease in CPP (p = 0.013) and SPP (p = 0.002). However, further increase of IAP (45 mmHg) was accompanied by an increase in mean arterial pressure due to compensatory tachycardia, followed by an increase in CPP and SPP and a decrease of cytokines and lactate.

conclusionsIAH resulted in a decrease of CPP and SPP lower than 60 mmHg and an increase of all ischemic mediators, indicating CNS ischemia; on the other hand, restoration of perfusion pressures above this threshold decreased all ischemic indicators, irrespective of the level of IAH.
