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

Emulsified isoflurane (EIso) has a protective effect against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in animal models. However, the protective effects of EIso on global cerebral I/R injury remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate whether EIso postconditioning was able to improve survival and neurological outcomes in a rat model of cardiac arrest (CA). Rats were randomly divided into five groups, namely the control, EIso-2ml, EIso-4ml, isoflurane (Iso) and emulsion (E) groups. All rats were resuscitated by a standardized method following 6 min of asphyxia. Furthermore, all interventions were administered immediately following the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The animal survival was recorded daily, and evaluations of behavioral and brain morphology were assessed at 1 and 7 days after ROSC. The results showed that EIso treatment increased the survival rate 7 days after ROSC, with a 41.7% 7-day survival in the EIso-2ml group, 66.7% in the EIso-4ml group and 50% in the Iso group compared with 33.3% survival in the control and E groups. Moreover, the neural deficit score and memory function were improved in the EIso-4ml group, and this treatment also ameliorated brain hippocampal cell injury and apoptosis. In addition, a better brain protective effect was observed in the EIso-4ml group compared with the EIso-2ml, Iso and E groups. In summary, the data of the present study suggest that EIso postconditioning improved the survival and neurological outcomes following CA in a dose-dependent manner.
