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

objectiveTo investigate the effect of seabuckthorn berries extract (SBE) on pulmonary vascular hyperpermeability in the mice model of acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

methodsSixty Kunming mice were allocated into 6 groups by a random number table, including control, LPS, dexamethasone (Dex, 1 mg/kg), and 120, 240 and 480 mg/kg SBE groups, 10 mice in each group. Except the control group, mice were pre-treated with Dex and SBE, respectively, for 7 days before LPS was intraperitoneally injected to induce ALI. Pulmonary vascular hyperpermeability was evaluated by histopathologic observation and transvascular leakage determination. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in serum were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65 in lung cells was determined by immunofluorescence analysis. The contents of cytoplasmic inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB kinase (IKK) and nuclear p65, as well as downstream proteins of E-selectin (CD62E) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), were determined using Western blot analysis.

resultsHistopathological observation confirmed SBE treatment alleviated morphological lesion induced by LPS. Compared with the LPS group, 480 mg/kg SBE significantly decreased the water content of lung, Evans blue accumulation in lung tissue, and protein concentration and neutrophils count in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (P<0.01); moreover, 480 mg/kg SBE significantly suppressed release of TNF-α and IL-6, and down-regulated expressions of IKK, nuclear p65, ICAM-1 and CD62E (P<0.01).

conclusionSBE maintained alveolar-capillary barrier integrity under endotoxin challenge in mice by suppressing the key factors in the pathogenesis of ALI.
