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

We investigated the effects of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) on intrapulmonary expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and apoptosis in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). We induced SAP, then used immunohistochemistry, TUNEL staining, quantitative PCR assays and western blotting to examine PDTC effects. Treatment with PDTC resulted in interstitial edema and widening of the basement membrane, with swollen mitochondria and aggregation of nuclear chromatin. Expression of NF-κB, Fas, Bcl-2 and TNF-α in lung tissues of SAP rats was increased, with NF-κB, Fas and TNF-α levels maximal after 6 h. PDTC appeared to ameliorate pathological changes, with low levels of NF-κB, Fas, TNF-α, and Caspase-3 mRNA observed and a lower apoptosis index compared with that seen in SAP rats. Expression of NF-κB could be involved in lung tissue apoptosis during SAP. We postulate that PDTC inhibits the activation of NF-κB and apoptosis, effectively alleviating the severity of lung injury.
