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

backgroundHigh levels of serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were observed in sepsis patients with liver injury and high mortality. However, the role of liver in modulation LPS induced inflammatory injury was ill investigated. In the present study, the severity of LPS induced inflammatory response was observed after liver resection or portal branch occlusion to decreasing functional liver mass. The local and systemic damage was observed to investigate the role of liver in modulation inflammatory injury.

methodsFirst, 30%, 70%, and 90% partial hepatectomy (PH) were performed, and serum TNF-α, survival rate, and hepatic LPS uptake was observed. Second, LPS-exposure of the functional liver mass was decreased by selectively blocking the RL prior to LPS-injection, which was given 30 min before a 70% PH, and the inflammatory response was compared in the occluded and the non-occluded liver. The control group was subjected to LPS injection 30 min prior to liver resection without blocking the RL transiently. The serum TNF-α, ALT, AST, creatinine levels, and urea levels, survival rate, hepatic LPS uptake, and hepatic inflammatory cytokines was observed.

resultsThe decreasing of functional liver mass after 90%, 70%, and 30% PH was associated with decreased serum TNF-α, survival rate, and increased hepatic LPS uptake after LPS injection. Occluding the right lobes (RL) prior to LPS administration reversed the liver injury caused by 70% PH, indicated by 100% survival rate and decreased liver and kidney injury, and systemic inflammatory response. The induction of inflammatory response in occluding liver lobes were lower than un-occluding liver lobes.

conclusionsThe severity of the LPS-induced systemic inflammatory injury is determined by functional liver volume. This observation suggests that the liver is the central organ for the initiation of the inflammatory response, and is involved in causing a severe SIRS with systemic damage and death.
