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

objectivesThe aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic values of plasma levels of vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) and intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) for diagnosing acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI).

methodsThe study used a randomized, controlled experimental design. Forty-two female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three control groups and three ischemia groups. Plasma VAP-1 and I-FABP levels were measured, and the extent of ischemic damage was determined using a histopathological damage score in terminal ileum tissue samples.

resultsIn the early phase of AMI (i.e. at the 30-min time point), VAP-1 levels did not differ between the control and ischemia groups (p > 0.05), but I-FABP levels were significantly higher in the ischaemia groups (p = 0.017). Although both VAP-1 and I-FABP levels increased in the ischaemia groups, only VAP-1 levels showed a significant increase compared to the control group at the 2-h time point (p = 0.011). Ischemic damages associated with AMI became the most prominent at the 6-h time point. During this phase, both VAP-1 and I-FABP levels were significantly higher in the ischemia groups than in the control groups (p = 0.007 and p = 0.002, respectively). Both VAP-1 and I-FABP levels showed a significant correlation with ischemic changes, but a higher correlation was observed for VAP-1 levels (r = 0.771).

conclusionsBoth I-FABP and VAP-1 levels were useful for diagnosing AMI, but VAP-1 levels correlated better with the extent of ischaemic damage.
