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 aim of the present study was to investigate the characteristics and progression of intestinal injury at the anhepatic phase in portal hypertensive rats. A total of 120 healthy male Wistar rats were purchased, with 15 rats in the normal control group and 105 rats were assigned to establish a prehepatic portal hypertension model. The 105 model rats were further divided into seven treatment groups following ischemia-reperfusion. Meanwhile, portal vein pressure, the area of lower esophageal mucosal vein, endotoxin levels in portal vein blood and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured. Morphology changes of the intestine were observed using optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. A portal hypertension rat model was successfully established. Furthermore, endotoxin, MDA and SOD level reached a peak at 12-24 h following reperfusion and then decreased gradually to normal levels at 1 week following reperfusion. However, cytological damage did not recover to preoperative level within 1 week. These findings suggest that intestinal injury was most severe within 12-24 h following ischemia-reperfusion and most indicators recovered to almost normal levels. Therefore, further study on the intestinal mucosal damage is required, with the aim to reduce the production of intestinal endotoxin.
