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

Sepsis is an inflammatory reaction disorder state that is induced by infection. The activation and regulation of the immune system play an essential role in the development of sepsis. Our previous studies have shown that ghrelin ameliorates intestinal dysfunction in sepsis. Very little is known about the mechanism of ghrelin and its receptor (GHSR) on the intestinal barrier and the immune function of macrophage regulation. Our research is to investigate the regulatory effect and molecular mechanism of the ghrelin/GHSR axis on intestinal dysfunction and macrophage polarization in septic rats. A rat model of sepsis was established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) operation. Then, the sepsis rats were treated with a ghrelin receptor agonist (TZP-101) or ghrelin inhibitor (obestatin). The results suggested that TZP-101 further enhanced ghrelin and GHSR expressions in the colon and spleen of septic rats and obestatin showed the opposite results. Ghrelin/GHSR axis ameliorated colonic structural destruction and intestinal epithelial tight junction injury in septic rats. In addition, the ghrelin/GHSR axis promoted M2-type polarization of macrophages, which was characterized by the decreases of IL-1
