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

backgroundHigh-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays an active role during the pathogenesis of inflammatory processes. The primary aim of this study was to detect whether HMGB1 is involved in the pathogenesis of acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis (AOSC).

methodsWe collected peripheral blood samples from 23 patients with AOSC and 23 healthy volunteers who served as normal controls. All participants were tested for HMGB1 mRNA level, HMGB1 protein, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin 10 (IL-10). HMGB1 mRNA levels were tested using real-time polymerase chain reaction. HMGB1 protein expression was measured using Western blot. TNF-alpha and IL-10 were tested using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

resultsThe expression of HMGB1 mRNA and HMGB1 protein was higher in the AOSC group than in the normal controls (P<0.01), and the levels gradually decreased to normal after treatment of the disease (P<0.01). The content of TNF-alpha and IL-10 in peripheral blood of patients with AOSC was significantly higher than that of normal controls (P<0.01) but decreased to normal levels after the necessary treatment (P<0.01).

conclusionThe levels of HMGB1 mRNA and HMGB1 protein were elevated in patients with AOSC, which may play an important role in the inflammation of the bile duct and appears to be associated with the development of sepsis. This suggests the importance of monitoring HMGB1 levels in the management of AOSC-induced sepsis.
