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

The present study examines the relationships between inflammation and surfactant protein (SP) expression in a rodent model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Rats were intratracheally instilled with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 72 hours to induce ARDS and further treated with exogenous surfactant. Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) levels, cycloxygenase (COX) activity and alterations in SP-A apoprotein were measured. COX and SP-A expressions in lung tissue and SP-A-positive cells were determined by Western blot and immunofluorescence, respectively. PGE(2) levels and COX activity and its expression were increased with LPS exposure, whereas SP-A protein and percentage of SP-A-positive cells were decreased, which were subsequently reverted back by exogenous surfactant instillation. Because inhibition of COX-2 action is proposed to be useful in various inflammatory lung injuries, these results suggest that COX-2 expression and the possible beneficial effects of its inhibition on lung inflammation and dysfunction with LPS-ARDS corresponds closely with reduced SP-A expression.
