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

purposesThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the preoperative administration of BV on the healing process of intestinal anastomosis in a rabbit model.

methodsTwenty male white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups. The control group received saline 1 week before surgery, and the BV group received intravenous BV 1 week before surgery. Each rabbit underwent an enteroenterostomy and a colocolostomy. On postoperative day 7, the bursting pressures of the anastomoses, CD31 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) staining by immunohistochemistry, the gene expression of α-SMA, and collagen deposition using Picrosirius Red at the site of anastomosis were evaluated.

resultsThe bursting pressure of small bowel anastomoses was significantly lower in the BV group than in the control group (control 184 ± 10 mmHg vs. BV 140 ± 9 mmHg; p = 0.004). The microvessel counts in the anastomotic tissue were significantly lower in the BV group than in the control group in both the small bowel (p = 0.023) and colon (p = 0.008). The expression of α-SMA, and the degree of collagen deposition decreased in the anastomotic tissue in the BV group compared with the control group.

conclusionThe preoperative use of BV may therefore negatively affect the rigidity of intestinal anastomosis.
