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

aimTo evaluate the role of leptin in the internal disorders during hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury.

methodsA rat model of 70% hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury was established, with groups of sham-operation (Sham), 60 min ischemia/60 min reperfusion (I60'R60'), I60'R150', I60'R240' and I60'R360'. Serum leptin was detected by a self-produced radioimmunoassay; serum glucose, total anti-oxidation capacity, myeloperoxidase, alanine transaminase and diamine oxidase were determined by relevant kits, while histological alterations and protein levels of leptin in the lung, liver and duodenum were examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry. Spearman's rank correlation between leptin and other variables or grading of tissue impairment were analyzed simultaneously.

resultsSerum leptin in I60'R360' was significantly higher than in Sham and I60'R240' groups (both P < 0.05), serum glucose in I60'R360' was higher than in Sham and I60'R150' (both P < 0.05), and serum total anti-oxidation capacity in I60'R240' and I60'R360' were higher than in Sham (both P < 0.05) and I60'R150'groups (both P < 0.01). Serum myeloperoxidase in groups of I60'R240' and I60'R360' were lower than in I60'R150'group (both P < 0.05), serum alanine transaminase in the four reperfusion groups were higher than in the Sham group (all P < 0.05), while serum DAO in I60'R360' was lower than in I60'R60' (P < 0.05). Histological impairment in the lung, liver and duodenum at the early phase of this injury was more serious, but the impairment at the later phase was lessened gradually. Protein levels of leptin in the lung in the four reperfusion groups were significantly lower than in the Sham group (all P < 0.01), decreasing in the order of I60'R150', I60'R60', I60'R360' and I60'R240'; the levels in the liver in I60'R60' and I60'R240' were higher than in the Sham group (both P < 0.01), while the levels in I60'R240' and I60'R360' were lower than in I60'R60' (both P < 0.01); the levels in duodenum in I60'R240' and I60'R360' were higher than in Sham, I60'R60' and I60'R150' (all P < 0.01), while the level in I60'R150' was lower than in I60'R60' (P < 0.05). There was a significantly positive correlation between serum leptin and alanine transaminase (ρ = 0.344, P = 0.021), a significantly negative correlation between the protein level of leptin in the lung and its damage scores (ρ = -0.313, P = 0.036), and a significantly positive correlation between the protein level of leptin in the liver and its damage scores (ρ = 0.297, P = 0.047).

conclusionEndogenous leptin fluctuates in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury, exerts a potency to rehabilitate the internal disorders and represents a potential target for supportive therapy.
