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

The purpose of this study was to study whether complement depletion induced by pretreatment with Cobra Venom Factor (CVF) could protect against lung ischemia reperfusion injury (LIRI) in a rat model and explore its molecular mechanisms. Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to five groups (n = 6): Control group, Sham-operated group, I/R group, CVF group, I/R + CVF group. CVF (50 μg/kg) was injected through the tail vein 24 h before anesthesia. Lung ischemia reperfusion (I/R) was induced by clamping the left hilus pulmonis for 60 minutes followed by 4 hours of reperfusion. Measurement of complement activity, pathohistological lung injury score, inflammatory mediators, pulmonary permeability, pulmonary edema, integrity of tight junction and blood-air barrier were performed. The results showed that pretreatment with CVF significantly reduced complement activity in plasma and BALF. Evaluation in histomorphology showed that complement depletion induced by CVF significantly alleviated the damage of lung tissues and inhibited inflammatory response in lung tissues and BALF. Furthermore, CVF pretreatment had the function of ameliorating pulmonary permeability and preserving integrity of tight junctions in IR condition. In conclusion, our results indicated that complement depletion induced by CVF could inhibit I/R-induced inflammatory response and alleviate lung I/R injury. The mechanisms of its protective effects might be ameliorated blood-air barrier damage.
