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 protective effect of dexmedetomidine (Dex) against acute lung injury induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R) in rats and its effect on NLRP3 inflammasome activity.

methodsThirty-two normal male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=8): the sham operation group, where the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was exposed only; II/R group, where the SMA was occluded for 1 h followed by reperfusion for 2 h; Dex+II/R group, where the rats were subjected to II/R and received intraperitoneal injection of Dex before reperfusion; and Dex group, where the rats received Dex pretreatment and sham operation. The rats in sham operation group and II/R group received intraperitoneal injection of normal saline. The wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in the lung tissues were measured, and HE staining was used to evaluate lung pathologies and determine lung injury score of the rats. The levels of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-18, and IL-1β) in the lung tissue were detected using ELISA, and the expressions of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1 and p-AMPK proteins were determined with Western blotting.

resultsCompared with the sham-operated rats, the rats with II/R injury showed obvious lung pathologies and significantly increased W/D value, MPO activity and expression of TNF-α, IL-18 and IL-1β in the lung tissue (

conclusionDex treatment reduces II/R-induced inflammatory response by inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes, thereby improving acute lung injury caused by II/R in rats.
