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

objectiveTo investigate the effect of abnormal savda munziq (ASM) on the pulmonary function and expression of lung-specific aquaporins in the rat model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with abnormal savda syndrome (ASSCOPD).

methodsEighty male rats were randomized into ASSCOPD, COPD, and control groups. ASSCOPD was further categorized into ASM and non-ASM groups. COPD model was established by combining fumigation with airway instillation of elastase; ASSCOPD model was developed based on COPD by induction with dry cold diet, cold dry environment, and plantar electric stimulation. ASM was administered twice daily. The pulmonary function was evaluated based on respiration. The mRNA and protein levels of AQPs were estimated by real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively.

resultsMV, TV, the mRNA level of AQP5, and the protein expression of AQP1, AQP4, and AQP5 were increased in ASMCOPD compared to ASSCOPD.

conclusionThe pulmonary function was impaired in ASSCOPD group; the expression of AQP1, AQP4, and AQP5 was decreased at protein and mRNA levels in ASSCOPD group. ASM can improve the pulmonary function in ASSCOPD for MV and TV. ASM could elevate the protein expression of AQP1, AQP4, and AQP5 and the mRNA level of AQP5 in lung tissue.
