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

objectivesRegional tidal lung strain may trigger local inflammation during mechanical ventilation, particularly when additional inflammatory stimuli are present. However, it is unclear whether inflammation develops proportionally to tidal strain or only above a threshold. We aimed to 1) assess the relationship between regional tidal strain and local inflammation in vivo during the early stages of lung injury in lungs with regional aeration heterogeneity comparable to that of humans and 2) determine how this strain-inflammation relationship is affected by endotoxemia.

designInterventional animal study.

settingExperimental laboratory and PET facility. SUBJECTS: Eighteen 2- to 4-month-old sheep.

interventionsThree groups of sheep (n = 6) were mechanically ventilated to the same plateau pressure (30-32 cm H2O) with high-strain (VT = 18.2 ± 6.5 mL/kg, positive end-expiratory pressure = 0), high-strain plus IV lipopolysaccharide (VT = 18.4 ± 4.2 mL/kg, positive end-expiratory pressure = 0), or low-strain plus lipopolysaccharide (VT = 8.1 ± 0.2 mL/kg, positive end-expiratory pressure = 17 ± 3 cm H2O). At baseline, we acquired respiratory-gated PET scans of inhaled NN to measure tidal strain from end-expiratory and end-inspiratory images in six regions of interest. After 3 hours of mechanical ventilation, dynamic [F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose scans were acquired to quantify metabolic activation, indicating local neutrophilic inflammation, in the same regions of interest. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN

resultsBaseline regional tidal strain had a significant effect on [F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose net uptake rate Ki in high-strain lipopolysaccharide (p = 0.036) and on phosphorylation rate k3 in high-strain (p = 0.027) and high-strain lipopolysaccharide (p = 0.004). Lipopolysaccharide exposure increased the k3-tidal strain slope three-fold (p = 0.009), without significant lung edema. The low-strain lipopolysaccharide group showed lower baseline regional tidal strain (0.33 ± 0.17) than high-strain (1.21 ± 0.62; p < 0.001) or high-strain lipopolysaccharide (1.26 ± 0.44; p < 0.001) and lower k3 (p < 0.001) and Ki (p < 0.05) than high-strain lipopolysaccharide.

conclusionsLocal inflammation develops proportionally to regional tidal strain during early lung injury. The regional inflammatory effect of strain is greatly amplified by IV lipopolysaccharide. Tidal strain enhances local [F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake primarily by increasing the rate of intracellular [F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose phosphorylation.
