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 compared the effects of hibernation inactivity and 14-day hindlimb unloading in non-hibernating period on biochemical, rheological, and hematological parameters of blood in Daurian ground squirrels (Spermophilus dauricus). Twenty-four squirrels were randomly divided into four groups: control (CON), hibernation (HIB), post-hibernation (POST), and 14-day hindlimb unloading (HU). The results showed that serum enzymes (L-lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase) activities decreased in HIB, POST, and HU squirrels compared with CON. Total protein (including albumin and globulin) maintained in HIB but decreased in HU compared with CON. Total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol increased in HIB but maintained in HU and POST compared with CON. Meanwhile, serum creatinine decreased and urea increased in HU compared with CON. All blood ions concentrations were unchanged in HIB, POST, and HU squirrels compared with CON except calcium which increased in HIB compared with CON, and phosphorus which increased in HIB and POST compared with CON. Most of detected serum biochemical analytes in POST recovered to the CON level. Blood viscosity, which was unchanged in all shear rates in HU, increased in HIB and recovered in POST in lower shear rates compared with CON. Erythrocyte and corpuscular volume decreased in HIB and HU but maintained in POST compared with CON. All the routine hematological parameters recovered in POST as compared with CON except platelet, which decreased in HIB and POST but maintained in HU compared with CON. In conclusion, our results suggested a remarkable ability to maintain blood homeostasis in hibernating squirrels.
