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

backgroundObstructive jaundice and cirrhosis are associated with impaired renal function. Previously we demonstrated that increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP, pneumoperitoneum) in normal rats induced renal dysfunction. This study investigated the renal effects of pneumoperitoneum in rats with acute jaundice and cirrhotic rats.

methodsFollowing a baseline period, rats with obstructive jaundice or cirrhosis induced by acute or chronic bile duct ligation (BDL), respectively, and their sham-controls were subjected to consecutive IAPs of 10 and 14 mmHg for 45 min each. Urine flow (V), Na(+) excretion (UNaV), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal plasma flow (RPF), and urinary NO metabolites ([Formula: see text]) and cGMP (UcGMP) were determined.

resultsElevating IAP from 0 to 10 and 14 mmHg in normal rats caused IAP-dependent reductions in V, UNaV, GFR, RPF, [Formula: see text] and UcGMP. Basal renal function and hemodynamics were lower in rats with obstructive jaundice. In contrast to normal rats, application of elevated IAP of 10 and 14 mmHg significantly improved V, UNaV, GFR, RPF, and MAP along with increased [Formula: see text] and preserved UcGMP. Similarly, when identical IAP conditions were applied to cirrhotic rats, no deleterious changes in V, UNaV, GFR or RPF were observed.

conclusionsApplication of pneumoperitoneum to rats with acute BDL improves kidney function and renal hemodynamics. Likewise, increased IAP does not exert adverse renal effects in cirrhotic rats. These effects are distinct from the deleterious renal consequences of increased IAP in normal rats. Perturbations in the generation of NO/cGMP during IAP in normal rats but not in rats with BDL or cirrhosis may contribute to these differences.
