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

The pituitary gland plays an important endocrinal role, however its damage after cardiac arrest (CA) has not been well elucidated. The aim of this study was to determine a pituitary gland damage induced by CA. Rats were subjected to 10-min asphyxia and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Immunohistochemistry and ELISA assays were used to evaluate the pituitary damage and endocrine function. Samples were collected at pre-CA, and 30 and 120 min after cardio pulmonary resuscitation. Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining demonstrated the expansion of the pituitary damage over time. There was phenotypic validity between the pars distalis and nervosa. Both CT-proAVP (pars nervosa hormone) and GH/IGF-1 (pars distalis hormone) decreased over time, and a different expression pattern corresponding to the damaged areas was noted (CT-proAVP, 30.2 ± 6.2, 31.5 ± 5.9, and 16.3 ± 7.6 pg/mg protein, p < 0.01; GH/IGF-1, 2.63 ± 0.61, 0.62 ± 0.36, and 2.01 ± 0.41 ng/mg protein, p < 0.01 respectively). Similarly, the expression pattern between these hormones in the end-organ systems showed phenotypic validity. Plasma CT-proAVP (r = 0.771, p = 0.025) and IGF-1 (r = -0.775, p = 0.024) demonstrated a strong correlation with TTC staining area. Our data suggested that CA induces pathological and functional damage to the pituitary gland.
