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

backgroundThis experiment aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) in kidney injury in septic mice induced by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP).

methodsMale BALB/c mice were randomly divided into two groups: sham-operation group (Sham group) and septic group (CLP group). The septic model was simulated by cecal ligation and puncture method, but only cecal ligation was used for the sham operation group. The whole serum and renal tissue samples of the mice were collected 24 hours after modeling in both groups. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes of renal tissue, the renal injury score was recorded, and the creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer, while the serum Lp-PLA2 level was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The 7-day survival rate and the survival curve of the two groups were statistically analyzed.

resultsCompared with the Sham group, the pathological score of renal injury in the CLP Group was higher, the level of Lp-PLA2 in serum was significantly increased (all P<0.01), and the expression of Lp-PLA2 in renal tissue was significantly elevated (all P<0.01). Furthermore, the 7-day survival rate of the Sham group was 90%, while that of CLP group was 25%.

conclusionsThe expression level of Lp-PLA2 in blood and kidney tissue of septic mice was increased and correlated with prognosis. However, the predictive value of Lp-PLA2 for prognosis in septic mice needs further study.
