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

Purpose: Intra-abdominal infection is a complex pathophysiological process involving multiple systems and organs of the body. Abdominal infections complicated by severe sepsis or septic shock have a high mortality rate of 30-50%. Therefore, novel strategies to treat sepsis are urgently needed. Methods: Andrographolide (AD), the main active ingredient of Results: Results showed that AD therapy could significantly improve the 7-day survival rate and alleviate pathological organ injury in mice with CLP. In addition, AD treatment decreased the levels of proinflammatory factors, such as tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin (IL)-6 in the peritoneal cavity fluid and blood and increased the level of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 in the peritoneal cavity fluid of mice with CLP. Moreover, bacterial counts in the blood and peritoneal lavage fluid were lower in the mice treated with AD than in those untreated. Mechanistically, AD treatment increased the percentage and phagocytic activity of macrophages in the peritoneal cavity. Conclusion: These data showed that AD can improve the survival of mice with intra-abdominal sepsis by enhancing bacterial clearance, as evidenced by the increased percentages and phagocytic activity of macrophages in the peritoneal cavity. This study is the first to demonstrate the protective effects of AD against intra-abdominal sepsis.
