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

We hypothesize that adrenal insufficiency in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) is attributable to hemorrhagic inflammation, necrosis, and apoptosis of the adrenal cortex. Arguments to support this view are presented in the study that investigated morphological and functional changes of adrenal and the distinct roles of inflammatory mediator secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)) and apoptosis-related genes Bax and Bcl-2 played in acute adrenal injury in ANP. After ANP model was induced, pancreatic histology, serum amylase, sPLA(2), and corticosterone were analyzed. The adrenal morphology, apoptotic cells by TUNEL assay, and ultrastructures were observed. sPLA(2)-IIA and Bcl-2 and Bax expressions were detected by immunohistochemistry. Histopathologic grading of adrenal was higher in ANP group than in controls. Serum corticosterone was stimulated to maximal level at 3 h, then dropped to the bottom at 24 h (P<0.05). Apoptotic index, sPLA2-IIA, and Bax expression were increased steeply after pancreatitis, and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio was elevated gradually (P<0.05). Sustained decrease in serum corticosterone level following adrenal injury during ANP appears to be, in part, due to the crucial roles of inflammation and apoptosis in adrenal cortex. These findings could suggest that sPLA2, Bax, and Bcl-2 may be involved in the course of adrenal injury after ANP.
