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

objectiveRAGE pathway plays crucial effects in causing acute lung injury (ALI). Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is showed to mitigate sepsis-stimulated ALI. However, its mechanisms have not been verified. The study was to evaluate whether the RAGE pathway participated in the actions of DEX on sepsis-stimulated ALI in rats.

methodsMale rats were administrated with intravenously DEX 30 min after sepsis. At 24 h of sepsis, lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) and macrophages in the bronchoalveolarlavage fluid (BALF) were observed. The actions of DEX on pro-inflammatory molecules and related mechanisms were determined by immunological methods.

resultsIt was indicated that DEX markedly attenuated CLP-stimulated augment of lung inflammatory cells infiltration, along with significantly mitigated MPO activity. Besides, DEX obviously reduced lung wet/dry weight ratio and the levels of HMGB1 and RAGE in BALF and lung tissue. Moreover, DEX post-treatment apparently attenuated the histopathological lung injury compared with CLP model group. Furthermore, western blot analysis revealed that DEX efficiently restrained the activation of IκB-α, NF-κB p65, and MAPK.

conclusionOur studies demonstrated that DEX attenuates the aggravation of sepsis-stimulated ALI via down regulation of RAGE pathway, which has a potential value in the clinical therapy.
