Effects of doxycycline on intestinal ischemia reperfusion injury induced by abdominal compartment syndrome in a rat model.

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.
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
backgroundAbdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) refers to organ dysfunction and ischemia resulting from intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH). Ischemia of the gut results in the triggering of a systemic inflammatory response by releasing cytokines which, in turn, causes capillary leakage leading to bowel edema, further increasing intra-abdominal pressure and resulting in a morbid cycle of ischemia and edema.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the effects of doxycycline on intestinal ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury in a rat model of ACS.
methodsSprague-Dawley rats were divided into 5 equal groups. In groups 1 and 2, saline (1 cc IP) was administered during induction of ACS and intestinal samples were removed at 1 and 24 hours, respectively, after decompression. In groups 3 and 4, doxycycline (10 mg/kg IP) was injected during induction of ACS and, similarly, intestinal samples were removed at 1 and 24 hours after decompression. In the control group (group 5), intestinal samples were collected without induction of ACS. Malon-dialdehyde (MDA), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 were studied and the apoptotic cells were enumerated histopathologically. Apoptosis and β-cell lymphoma 2 (βcl-2) expression were assessed immunohistochemically.
resultsThirty-five rats were evenly divided into 5 groups of 7 rats each. MDA, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and MMP-2 levels were significantly higher in group 1 one hour after the reperfusion period compared with the control group (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, P < 0.05, P < 0.001, and P < 0.01, respectively). The same parameters were significantly lower in group 3, in which doxycycline was administered, than in group 1 (P < 0.001, P < 0.05, P < 0.05, P < 0.001, and P < 0.01, respectively). However, there was no significant difference between groups 2 and 4 in the 24th hour (all, P > 0.05). The mean (SD) number of apoptotic cells and the expression of βcl-2 was highest in group 2 at 24 hours after the reperfusion period (92.5 [11.4] and 35.9 [5.0], respectively) and significantly greater than that in group 4 (P < 0.001 and P < 0.05, respectively).
conclusionDoxycycline was associated with protective effects against I/R injury through decreasing apoptosis via attenuating the response of proinflammatory cytokines and inhibiting the activity of MMP-2 in this rat model.
