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

objectiveWhether alveolar edema could be cleared by alveolar epithelial is a key to the treatment and prognosis of ALI (acute lung injury). In this study, oleic acid(OA)-induced ALI model was established, the expression of α1 Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase (NKA) and β1 Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase were performed in vivo to investigate the mechanism of alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) in ALI and the effect of early low doses of dexamethasone on alveolar fluid clearance.

methodsIn this study, Male rats were challenged by OA with or without dexamethasone (1 mg/kg, iv) post-treatment. Lung histopathology, blood gas, pulmonary vascular permeability, BALF IL-6, MPO and NKA activity of lung were examined. α1NKA and β1NKA mRNA and protein expression were detected.

resultsThe results indicated that compared with sham operated group, NKA activity, mRNA and protein expression of α1NKA and β1NKA were decreased in OA treated group, while wet/dry ratio, lung index, IL-6, and MPO activity were increased significantly. Pulmonary edema was obviously seen under light microscope. Those indexes were improved in dexamethasone treated group compared to OA treated group.

conclusionThe expression of NKA to decline for the lung injury is one important mechanism of pulmonary edema. Early low dose of dexamethasone treatment could suppress the expression of inflammatory mediators, improved lung epithelial-endothelial barrier permeability, increased the expressions of α1 NKA and β1 NKA mRNA, α1 NKA and β1 NKA protein level, stimulated NKA activity and decreased pulmonary edema. In conclusion, these observations suggest that early low dose of dexamethasone treatment has a protective effect on OA induced ALI.
