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

The effects of burn injury on cardiovascular responsiveness to vasoactive agents are not well understood. The aims of this study were to determine whether burn injury alters cardiovascular reactivity to vasoactive drugs in vivo and intrinsic function of isolated mesenteric resistance arteries. Anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to sham procedure or 30% TBSA dorsal scald burn, followed by crystalloid resuscitation (Parkland Formula). At 24, 72, 96, and 168 hours post burn, rats were reanesthetized, and the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) responses to various doses of the α1-adrenergic receptor agonist phenylephrine and arginine vasopressin were tested. Mesenteric arteries were harvested from uninjured animals and at 24 and 168 hours post burn. The responsiveness of arteries to phenylephrine and arginine vasopressin was tested by pressure myography. Dose response curves were generated and EC50 concentrations, Hill slopes, and maximal effects were compared. The potency of phenylephrine to increase MAP was reduced 2-fold 24 hours post burn (P < .05 vs sham) and gradually normalized at later time points. The reactivity of isolated arteries to phenylephrine was not significantly altered after burns. The potency of arginine vasopressin to increase MAP and to constrict isolated arteries was increased 2- to 3-fold at 24 hours post burn (P < .05) and normalized at later time points. Our findings suggest that burn injury differentially regulates vasopressor and blood pressure effects of α-adrenergic and vasopressin receptor agonists. Intrinsic vasopressin receptor reactivity of resistance arteries is sensitized early after burns. These findings will help to optimize resuscitation strategies and vasopressor use in difficult to resuscitate burn patients.
