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

purposeThe efficiency of ischemic postconditioning (IPC) was evaluated in a rat model of ischemic liver. Concentration of survivin of liver tissue correlated with the degree of antiapoptosis, so survivin was estimated to evaluate the efficiency of IPC on ischemic reperfusion (IR) injury.

methodsTwenty-four healthy rats were divided to three groups (SHAM, IR, and IPC). Rats in the SHAM group displayed no change during 3 hours. Rats in the IR group were ischemic within 1 hour of clamping the left hepatic artery and left portal vein. Reperfusion for 2 hours was then done. IPC group, intermittent 2, 3, 5, and 7 minutes of reperfusion followed by 1 hour of warm ischemia. Two-minute reocclusion was done after each reperfusion. Rat sera were analyzed for AST and ALT, and Western blot analysis of rat liver tissue of rats evaluated malondialdehyde (MDA) and survivin.

resultsMDA in the liver tissue of rats in the IR and IPC group were significantly high than in the liver tissue of the SHAM group (P = 0.003 and P = 0.008, respectively). Survivin was higher in the IPC group than in the SHAM and IR groups (P = 0.021 and P = 0.024, respectively).

conclusionIPC could not prevent lipid oxidation in liver cell mitochondria, but did aid in the regeneration of ischemic injured liver cells. The results indicate that IPC can suppress the apoptosis of liver cells and reduce reperfusion injury of liver tissue.
