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

Sepsis is the systemic inflammatory response caused by infection. Cardiac dysfunction is an acknowledged result of sepsis. Shengjiang Powder, a prescribed traditional Chinese medicine, showed anti-infection and antipyretic functions in our previous study. In this study, we established a septic rat model via cecal ligation puncture (CLP) to evaluate the effects of Shengjiang Powder on sepsis and the involvement of P38 mitogen activated protein kinase (P38-MAPK) signaling. The 10 main ingredients of Shengjiang Powder were identified by LC-MS. The results of this study indicated that Shengjiang Powder at a concentration of 3.0 g/kg with SB203580 (an inhibitor of P38-MAPK) could improve myocardial injury, ameliorate the histopathological abnormalities, decrease apoptosis and upregulate proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) levels in myocardial tissues. Further, cytokine mRNA expression levels (tumor necrosis factor - alpha, TNF-α and interleukin 6, IL-6) were decreased by Shengjiang Powder and SB203580 in the myocardial tissues. Furthermore, the p-P38 protein level in myocardial tissues was upregulated in septic rats but decreased upon treatment with Shengjiang Powder and SB203580; however, the relative protein level of P38 showed no significant changes. Collectively, Shengjiang Powder showed a myocardial protective effect on rats with CLP-induced sepsis.
