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

rationaleApocynin suppresses the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are implicated in ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). We thus hypothesized that apocynin attenuates VILI.

methodsVILI was induced by mechanical ventilation with tidal volume (V(t)) of 15 ml/kg in isolated and perfused rat lung. Apocynin was administered in the perfusate at onset of mechanical ventilation. A group ventilated with low V(t) of 5 ml/kg served as control. Hemodynamics, lung injury indices, inflammatory responses, and activation of apoptotic pathways were determined upon completion of mechanical ventilation.

resultsThere was an increase in lung permeability and lung weight gain after mechanical ventilation with high V(t), compared with low V (t). Levels of inflammatory cytokines including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) increased in lung lavage fluids; concentrations of carbonyl, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and H(2)O(2) were higher in perfusates and lung lavage fluids, and expression of myeloperoxidase, JNK, p38, and caspase-3 in lung tissue was greater in the high-V(t) than in the low-V(t) group. Administration of apocynin attenuated these inflammatory responses and lung permeability associated with decreased activation of nuclear factor-κB.

conclusionsVILI is associated with inflammatory responses including generation of ROS, cytokines, and activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades. Administration of apocynin at onset of mechanical ventilation attenuates inflammatory responses and VILI in the isolated, perfused rat lung model.
