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

introductionAdrenomedullin (ADM), a circulating vasodilatory peptide, plays an important role in the development of sepsis-associated hemodynamic and microcirculatory disorders. While administration of exogenous ADM had beneficial effects in several septic animal models, elevated ADM concentrations are associated with a bad outcome. This prompted us to test the effect of various anti-ADM antibodies in a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) mouse model.

methodsTo gain new potential compounds for the treatment or prevention of septic shock we followed an alternative strategy to influence the ADM system: High-affinity anti-ADM antibodies with different epitope specificities were developed and their antagonist activity in vitro and their ability to reduce mortality in a CLP mouse model were assessed.

resultsAn anti-ADM antibody directed against the N-terminus substantially increased the survival of mice in a CLP model (HR = 0.077 (CI = 0.0189 to 0.315), p = 0.0004), whereas other antibodies with similar affinities but different epitope specificities were much less potent. The efficacious antibody, in contrast to an anti-C-terminal antibody, only partially inhibited ADM agonist activity in vitro. Healthy mice were not negatively affected by the N-terminal antibody.

conclusionsAn anti-N-terminal ADM antibody, as opposed to antibodies with other epitope specificities, strongly reduces mortality in CLP mice.
