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 develop a pharmacodynamic model of portal hypertension from chronic hepatitis.

methodsPathological changes and collagen depositions were analyzed using morphometry to confirm CCl₄-induced chronic hepatitis. At d₀, d₂₈, d₅₆ and d₈₄ of the process, the portal perfused velocities (μL/min) in isolated rat livers were exactly controlled with a quantified pump. The pressure (mmHg) was monitored with a Physiological System. The geometric concentrations of phenylephrine or acetylcholine were added to a fixed volume (300 mL) of the circulating perfusate. The equation, the median effective concentration and its 95% confidence intervals of phenylephrine or acetylcholine were regressed with Prism-4 software in non-linear fit and various slopes. In the isolated perfused rat livers with chronic hepatitis, both median effective concentrations were defined as the pharmacodynamic model of portal hypertension.

resultsAt d₀, d₂₈, d₅₆ and d₈₄, the equations of portal pressure potency from the concentrations of phenylephrine used to constrict the portal vein in isolated perfused rat livers were Y = 0.1732 + 0.3970/[1 + 10((-4.3061-0.4407 X))], Y = -0.004934 + 0.12113/[1 + 10((-3.1247-0.3262 X))], Y = 0.0104 + 0.2643/[1 + 10((-8.8462-0.9579 X))], and Y = 0.01603 + 0.12107/[1 + 10((-5.1134-0.563 X))]; the median effective concentrations were 1.69 × 10⁻¹⁰ mol/L, 2.64 × 10⁻¹⁰ mol/L, 5.82 × 10⁻¹⁰ mol/L, and 8.24 × 10⁻¹⁰ mol/L, respectively. The equations from the concentrations of acetylcholine used to relax the portal vein were Y = -0.4548 + 0.3274/[1 + 10((6.1538 + 0.5554 X))], Y = -0.05391 + 0.06424/[1 + 10((3.8541 + 0.3469 X))], Y = -0.2733 + 0.22978/[1 + 10((3.0472 + 0.3008 X))], and Y = -0.0559 + 0.053178/[1 + 10((5.6336 + 0.5883 X))]; the median effective concentrations were 8.40 × 10⁻¹⁰ mol/L, 7.73 × 10⁻¹² mol/L, 5.98 × 10⁻¹¹ mol/L, and 2.66 × 10⁻¹⁰ mol/L, respectively.

conclusionA pharmacodynamic model of portal hypertension in isolated perfused rat livers with chronic hepatitis was defined as the median effective concentrations of phenylephrine and acetylcholine.
