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

backgroundSerum estradiol levels in severe acute injury are correlated with in hospital mortality. In acute pancreatitis, serum estradiol levels are strong predictors of disease severity. Studies of whether changes in estradiol levels play a causative role in acute pancreatitis severity are limited. The ovariectomized mouse model has been used to study the effects of estradiol in health and disease.

aimsWe assessed whether the ovariectomized mouse model could be used to assess the effects of estradiol on pancreatitis severity.

methodsC57BL/6 mice with their ovaries removed were used to simulate low circulating estradiol conditions. Ovariectomized mice were treated with six hourly injections of cerulein to induce mild acute pancreatitis and compared to ovariectomized mice pre-treated with subcutaneous estradiol injections.

resultsFindings suggest ovariectomized model is a problematic preparation to study pancreatitis. At baseline, ovariectomy leads to prominent acinar cell ultrastructure changes as well as changes in other select morphologic and biomarkers of pancreatitis. In addition, ovariectomy changed select acute pancreatitis responses that were only partially rescued by estradiol pre-treatment.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that the ovariectomized mouse as a model of estradiol depletion should be used with caution in pancreatic studies. Future studies should explore whether derangements in other female hormones produced by the ovaries can lead to changes in pancreatic studies.
