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

backgroundMannitol, an osmotic diuretic, is proposed to be an oxygen radical scavenger. Mannitol is often used in renal transplantation to attenuate oxidative stress and thus to protect renal graft function. We tested the hypothesis that mannitol reduces overall oxidative stress during deceased donor renal transplantation.

methodsWe randomly assigned 34 patients undergoing deceased donor renal transplantation to receive a solution of mannitol or placebo shortly before graft reperfusion until the end of surgery. We evaluated oxidative stress by measuring the static oxidative-reduction potential (sORP) and the capacity of the oxidative-reduction potential (cORP). sORP and cORP were measured pre-operatively, before and within 10 minutes after graft reperfusion, and post-operatively.

resultsSeventeen patients were enrolled in the mannitol group and 17 patients were enrolled in the placebo group. Mannitol had no significant effect on sORP (148.5 mV [136.2; 160.2]) as compared to placebo (143.6 mV [135.8; 163.2], P = .99). There was also no significant difference in cORP between the mannitol (0.22 µC [0.16; 0.36]) and the placebo group (0.22 µC [0.17; 0.38], P = .76).

conclusionMannitol showed no systemic redox scavenging effects during deceased donor renal transplantation. To evaluate the direct effect of mannitol on the renal graft further studies are needed.
