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 investigate the role of intestinal mucosal blood flow (IMBF) and motility in the damage of intestinal mucosal barrier in rats with traumatic brain injury.

methodsSixty-four healthy male Wistar rats were divided randomly into two groups: traumatic brain injury (TBI) group (n=32), rats with traumatic brain injury; and control group (n=32), rats with sham-operation. Each group was divided into four subgroups (n=8) as 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after operation. Intestinal motility was measured by the propulsion ratio of a semi-solid colored marker (carbon-ink). IMBF was measured with the laser-Doppler technique. Endotoxin and D-xylose levels in plasma were measured to evaluate the change of intestinal mucosal barrier function following TBI.

resultsThe level of endotoxin was significantly higher in TBI group than in the control group at each time point (0.382±0.014 EU/mL vs 0.102±0.007 EU/mL, 0.466±0.018 EU/mL vs 0.114±0.021 EU/mL, 0.478±0.029 EU/mL vs 0.112±0.018 EU/mL and 0.412±0.036 EU/mL vs 0.108±0.011 EU/mL, P<0.05). D-xylose concentrations in plasma in TBI group were significantly higher than in the control group (6.68±2.37 mmol/L vs 3.66±1.07 mmol/L, 8.51±2.69 mmol /L vs 3.15±0.95 mmol/L, 11.68±3.24 mmol/L vs 3.78±1.12 mmol/L and 10.23±2.83 mmol/L vs 3.34±1.23 mmol/ L, P<0.05). The IMBF in TBI group was significantly lower than that in the control group (38.5±2.8 PU vs 45.6±4.6 PU, 25.2±3.1 PU vs 48.2±5.3 PU, 21.5±2.7 PU vs 44.9±2.8 PU, 29. 4±3.8 PU vs 46.7±3.2 PU) (P<0.05). Significant decelerations of intestinal propulsion ratio in TBI groups were found compared with the control group (0.48%±0.06% vs 0.62%±0.03%, 0.37%±0.05% vs 0.64%±0.01%, 0.39%±0.07% vs 0.63%±0.05% and 0.46%±0.03% vs 0.65%±0.02%) (P<0.05).

conclusionThe intestinal mucosal permeability is increased obviously in TBI rats. Decrease of intestinal motility and IMBF occur early in TBI, both are important pathogenic factors for stress-related damage of the intestinal mucosal barrier in TBI.
