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

backgroundIntestinal epithelial injury in septic patients predicts subsequent development of multiple organ failure, but its regulation by host factors remains unclear. Sphingosine kinase 1 is an enzyme-regulating inflammatory response.

methodsCecal ligation and puncture was used to induce sepsis in C57BL/6 mice with and without N,N-dimethylsphingosine, a SphK1 inhibitor. Symptom severity was monitored by murine sepsis severity score. The intestinal barrier function was determined using 4KDa fluorescein-dextran. Bacterial load in the bloodstream was determined by 16S rRNA gene amplification. RESULTS AND

conclusionsOur preliminary experimental data showed that expression of sphingosine kinase 1 in ileum was increased by sixfold in septic mice. Pharmacological blockade of sphingosine kinase 1 alleviated septic symptoms. The intestinal permeability and bacterial load in the bloodstream were also reduced in these animals. We hypothesized that inhibition of sphingosine kinase 1 may reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine production, and alleviate intestinal epithelial injury during sepsis. Further mechanistic studies and clinical specimen analyses are warranted.
