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

Delirium is a common complication seen after surgery and anesthesia, in particular in older patients. Although the etiology of postoperative delirium is only incompletely understood, various lines of evidence suggest that proinflammatory signaling from the peripheral site of inflammation to central nervous system results in a decrease of cerebral acetylcholine (ACh) levels thereby inducing neuroinflammation. To corroborate this theory, we applied an animal model for characterization of the neuroinflammatory response after partial hepatectomy (HPx). In this model, the surgery-induced decrease in cerebral ACh levels can be prevented by intraoperative application of physostigmine. Thus, ACh-associated changes in the expression and secretion of inflammation-related compounds can be assessed by comparing the results obtained after surgery, in physostigmine-treated and untreated controls. This way we were able to show that the decrease of cerebral ACh triggers increased secretion of IL-1β, IL-6, TNFα, MIP-2 (CCL3), RANTES, MCP1, IFNgamma, and IP-10. A gene array covering the expression of 370 inflammation-related genes indicated 13 candidates that are induced upon cerebral ACh decrease after HPx. Quantification of the changes in the expression of these candidates by the comparative C
