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

Introduction: The pulmonary endothelium is the primary target of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury leading to primary graft dysfunction after lung transplantation. We hypothesized that treating damaged rat lungs by a transient heat stress during ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) to elicit a pulmonary heat shock response could protect the endothelium from severe reperfusion injury. Methods: Rat lungs damaged by 1h warm ischemia were reperfused on an EVLP platform for up to 6h at a constant temperature (T°) of 37°C (EVLP Results: HS induced an early (3h) and persisting expression of HSP70 and HSP27, without influencing Hsc70. Lungs from the EVLP Conclusion: The therapeutic application of a transient heat stress during EVLP of damaged rat lungs reduces endothelial permeability, attenuates pulmonary vasoconstriction, prevents src-kinase activation and VE-cadherin phosphorylation, while reducing endothelial peroxinitrite generation and the release of cytokines and endothelial biomarkers. Collectively, these data demonstrate that therapeutic heat stress may represent a promising strategy to protect the lung endothelium from severe reperfusion injury.
