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

objectiveWe investigated whether p-synephrine exerts potent anti-inflammatory effects against acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vivo, and we further investigated the inhibitory mechanism of p-synephrine in LPS-induced ALI.

methodsLipopolysaccharide (0.5 mg/kg) was instilled intranasally in phosphate-buffered saline to induce acute lung injury, and 6, 24, and 48 h after LPS was given, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was obtained to measure pro-inflammatory mediator. We also evaluated the effects of p-synephrine on LPS-induced the severity of pulmonary injury. The phosphorylation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 protein was analyzed by Western blotting.

resultsOur data showed that p-synephrine significantly reduced the amount of inflammatory cells, the lung wet-to-dry weight (W/D) ratio, reactive oxygen species, myeloperoxidase activity and enhanced superoxide dismutase (SOD) in mice with LPS-induced ALI. Tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin (IL)-6 concentrations decreased significantly while the concentration of IL-10 was significantly increased after p-synephrine pretreatment. In addition, p-synephrine suppressed not only the phosphorylation of NF-κB but also the degradation of its inhibitor (IκBα).

conclusionsThese results suggested that the inhibition of NF-κB activation and the regulation of SOD are involved in the mechanism of p-synephrine's protection against ALI.
