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

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a critical syndrome that is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. The activation of the Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) signaling pathway may be an important pathophysiological mechanism during ALI development. Penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC) has been revealed to exhibit anti-apoptotic properties and may attenuate the observed systemic inflammatory response. The present study was performed to elucidate the molecular mechanism of PHC in the regulation of the Fas/FasL signaling pathway in rats with ALI. An ALI rat model was constructed by inducing blunt chest trauma and hemorrhagic shock (T/HS), with PHC administration prior to or following T/HS. At 6 h following T/HS, blood samples and lung tissues were collected. Western blotting, arterial blood gas analysis, ELISA, hematoxylin and eosin staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling staining and biochemical indicator analysis were performed to determine the degree of lung injury and the key signaling pathways associated with lung damage. The results indicated that the administration of PHC following T/HS effectively attenuates lung injury by improving pulmonary oxygenation, decreasing histopathological damage, decreasing polymorphonuclear neutrophil count and decreasing Fas, FasL, caspase-8, caspase-3, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1β expression. The results indicated that PHC exhibits anti-apoptotic functions and exerts protective effects in ALI rats induced by T/HS, which may be attributed to the inhibition of the Fas/FasL signaling pathway.
