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

backgroundBone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) has been identified as an inflammation regulator in the diseases of arteries and other organs. However, the relationship between circulating BMP4 and perioperative inflammation remains unclear. PATIENTS AND

methodsForty patients undergoing lobectomy were randomly allocated into the Control group (not receiving flurbiprofen) and the Flurb group (received 100mg flurbiprofen during surgery). Arterial blood was obtained before surgery (T1), at the end of surgery (T2), and 24 hours after surgery (T3) to test the plasma concentrations of BMP4, its antagonist Noggin, interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-10. The relationship between BMP4 and other variables and the effects of flurbiprofen on BMP4 changes were investigated.

resultsA total of 35 patients were included. Circulating BMP4 was positively correlated with IL-1β (

conclusionCirculating BMP4 was elevated during surgery and highly correlated with inflammation cytokines. The elevation of BMP4 and inflammatory cytokines could be alleviated by flurbiprofen, indicating that BMP4 may exert pro-inflammatory properties via cyclooxygenase-II signaling pathways.
