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

backgroundTo investigate the protective effect of resolvin D1 (RvD1) on aortic dissection (AD) in mice and explore the related mechanisms.

methodsMice were randomly divided into a blank group, model group, and RvD1 group. The RvD1 and model groups were administered 0.4% β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) solution, while the blank group was administered distilled water. When the experiment began, whether mice had AD was determined by echocardiogram. The RvD1 group was also administered RvD1 (30 µg/kg), while the model and blank groups were administered saline intraperitoneally. After 21 d, body weight trend and survival rate in the three groups were compared. The diameter of the ascending aorta of mice was detected by echocardiography. Then, the mice were sacrificed, and histopathological staining procedures were performed. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect cytokines and chemokines in blood and tissue, respectively.

resultsAt 21 d, there was no statistically significant difference in body weight between three groups (P>0.05). The survival rate showed a significant difference between the RvD1 and model group (P<0.05). Echocardiography revealed that compared with the RvD1 and blank groups, aortic dilatation was significant in the model group. Pathological staining showed that the destruction of the aortic wall structure and inflammatory cell infiltration were more noticeable in the model group than in the RvD1 group. A slight disintegration of elastic fibers and collagen in the aorta was observed in the RvD1 group, and the aortic structure was clear. The results of ELISA showed that the inflammatory factors levels in the RvD1 group, although higher than those in blank group, were significantly decreased compared with the model group. The ELISA results of AD tissue showed that at 21 d, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels in the aorta were significantly decreased in the RvD1 group compared with the model group (P<0.05).

conclusionsAdministration of RvD1 significantly delayed aortic dilation and disintegration and inhibited local macrophage and neutrophil infiltration in the early stages of aortic injury. Moreover, RvD1 significantly downregulated the expression of cytokines and chemokines in aortic tissues and serum and improved aortic remodeling.
