Demonstration of ameliorating effect of papaverine in sepsis-induced acute lung injury on rat model through radiology and histology.
Article in Ulusal travma ve acil cerrahi dergisi = Turkish journal of trauma & emergency surgery : TJTES, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundOur target was to show the role of high mobility group box-1/receptor for (HMGB1/RAGE) interaction in feces intraperitoneal injection procedure (FIP)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) pathophysiology, to investigate the effect of papaverine on RAGE associated NF-κB pathway by determining the level of soluble RAGE (sRAGE) and HMGB1, and to support this hypothesis by evaluating inflammatory biochemical, oxidative stress markers, Hounsfield unit (HU) value in computed tomography (CT), and histo-pathological results.
methodsFIP was performed on 37 Wistar rats for creating a sepsis-induced ALI model. The animals were assigned into four groups as follows: Normal control (no treatment), placebo (FIP and saline), and receiving 20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg per day papaverine. Twenty h after FIP, CT examination was performed for all animals, and HU value of the lung parenchyma was measured. The plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, HMGB1, sRAGE, C-reactive protein (CRP) and malondialdehyde (MDA), and lactic acid (LA) were determined and PaO2 and PaCO2 were measured from arterial blood sample. Lung damage was assessed by histopathological.
resultsTNF-, IL-6, CRP, HMGB1, MDA, LA levels, histopathologic scores, and HU values of CT were significantly increased and sRAGE levels were decreased in the saline-treated group against normal group (all P<0.05). Papaverine significantly reversed all results regardless of the dose (all P<0.05) and demonstrated inhibition of HMGB1/RAGE interaction through increasing sRAGE levels and suppresses the pro-inflammatory cytokines.
conclusionWe concluded that papaverine has ameliorating effects in rat model of ALI.
