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

backgroundAmong the characteristics of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is edema formation and its resolution depends on pneumocyte Na/K-ATPase activity. Increased concentration of oleic acid (OA) in plasma induces lung injury by targeting Na/K-ATPase and, thus, interfering in sodium transport.

findingsPresently, we adapted a radioactivity-free assay to detect Na/K-ATPase activity in perfused lung mice, comparing the inhibitory effect of ouabain and OA. We managed to perfuse only the lung, avoiding the systemic loss of rubidium. Rb+ incorporation into lung was measured by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) technique, after lung tissue digestion. Na/K-ATPase activity was the difference between Rb+ incorporation with or without ouabain. Lung Na/K-ATPase was completely inhibited by perfusion with ouabain. However, OA caused a partial inhibition.

conclusionsIn the present work the amount of incorporated Rb+ was greater than seen in our previous report, showing that the present technique is trustworthy. This new proposed assay may allow researchers to study the importance of Na/K-ATPase activity in lung pathophysiology.
