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.

Abstract

The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) results in the activation of leukocytes, release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and severe inflammation. We hypothesize that targeting of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) by DNases might represent a feasible therapeutic strategy to limit CPB-associated side effects. Male Wistar rats (n = 24) underwent CPB with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) and were divided into 3 groups: control (group 1), one i.v. bolus DNase I before CPB start (group 2) and a second DNase I dose before reperfusion (group 3). We found a positive correlation between plasma cfDNA/NETs levels and compromised endothelial vasorelaxation after CPB. DNase I administration significantly diminished plasma cfDNA/NETs levels. Further, a dose-dependent improvement in endothelial function accompanied by significant reduction of circulating intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 was observed. Rats of group 3 had significantly reduced plasma IL-6 levels and downregulated expression of adhesion molecules resulting in impaired leukocyte extravasation and reduced MPO activity in lungs. Mechanistically, digestion of NETs by DNase I significantly diminished NETs-dependent upregulation of adhesion molecules in human endothelial cells. Altogether, systemic DNase I administration during CPB efficiently reduced cfDNA/NETs-mediated endothelial dysfunction and inflammation and might represents a promising therapeutic strategy for clinical practice.
