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

aimTo create an animal model of acute renal ischemia induced by systemic hypoperfusion, controllable and reproducible to study, in real time, hemorrhagic shock changes with micro-imaging. ANIMALS AND

methodsHemorrhagic shock was induced in rats activating a syringe pump setup to remove 1 mL/min of blood, through the femoral artery catheter. The withdrawal was continued until the mean arterial pressure (MAP) dropped to 25-30 mmHg. For the next 60 min, the MAP was maintained at a constant pressure value, by automatic pump infusion and withdrawal. Micro-ultrasound imaging was performed using the Vevo 2100 system with the MS250 transducer (13-24 MHz). Renal size, morphology and echogenicity were evaluated in B-mode. Renal blood flow was evaluated using color and PW-Doppler.

resultsAfter 1 h of ischemia, B-mode images documented slight changes in kidney echogenicity. Color and PW-Doppler analysis showed a reduction in renal blood flow in kidneys during the hypoperfusion with a progressive and significant change from baseline values of resistive index (RI). At the histological evaluation, 60 min of hypoperfusion resulted in ischemic changes in the kidneys.

conclusionsThe results of this experimental study encourage the use of the described model to study acute renal ischemia trough severe hypoperfusion. The histological data confirmed that the model was able to produce injury in renal parenchyma. It can be used to assess acute ischemic damage not only in the kidney but also in other organs by using all available dedicated small animals imaging techniques.
