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

introductionThis study investigated the mechanism of action of a synthetic tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid, MHTP, in an experimental model of acute lung injury (ALI) in two distinct moments: 72 h and 10 days. METHODOLOGY: To realize this study, 2.5 mg/kg of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was intranasally administered in BALB/c mice, and nasal instillation of MHTP (1.25; 2.5; 5.0; 10 or 20 mg/kg) was administrated at 1, 24, and 48 h after LPS challenge. The data were statistically analyzed and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

resultsMHTP treatment (2.5, 5.0, 10 or 20 mg/kg) significantly decreased neutrophil migration into the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), tissue inflammatory cell infiltration, edema, and hemorrhage as well as collagen fiber deposition on the perialveolar regions at both moments. TNF-α and IL-6 levels were significantly diminished in the MHTP-treated animals at 72 h and maintained them, at a basal level, at 10-day observation. These effects of MHTP are due to downregulating p38MAPkinese/p65NFκB signaling pathway-TLR4 dependent. Also, the MHTP treatment promoted a survival rate at 100% and improved their body weights during the 10-day observation. Unlike, the LPS group (non-treated LPS challenged animals) presented less than 50% of surviving rate at 72 h and the animals that survived did not improve their physiological state at 10-day observation.

conclusionsThese data showed for the first time the beneficial and effective activity of a nasal treatment with a synthetic tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid on an experimental model of ALI and pointed out the molecular mechanism related to it.
