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

Reactive oxygen species have a key role in liver ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. In the present study, the effect of the anti-oxidant compound lazaroid U-74389G in preventing liver I/R injury was investigated in a swine model. Ischemia was produced by portal vein occlusion. Two sets of experiments were performed, each with two groups (n=7 per group). In the first group, the potential protective effect of an intracaval injection of U-74389G after a 30-min ischemia, followed by a 60-min reperfusion period was assessed (biopsies at 0, 15, 30 and 90 min experimental time). In the second set, the effect of intracaval U-74389G injection after 30 min of ischemia, followed by a longer reperfusion period of 120 min was determined (biopsies at 0, 15, 30 and 150 min experimental time). Liver malondialdehyde, hepatocyte vacuolation-degeneration, venous congestion, inflammatory cell infiltration, sinus congestion-dilation and Chiu score of intestinal damage were determined at up to 150 min of reperfusion. In the second set of experiments, the Chiu score of intestinal damage was improved by the administration of U-74389G (3.17±0.40 vs. 4.33±0.21; P=0.030). However, in the two sets of experiments, the liver inflammatory reaction was more pronounced in the U-74389G groups (P=0.017 for the first set, P=0.021 for the second set). No significant effect of U-74389G on any other parameters was detected. In conclusion, intestinal damage due to portal venous congestion and reflow appears to be mitigated by the lazaroid U-74389G; however, intracaval administration of U-74389G does not appear to exert any protective effects against liver I/R-induced inflammation.
