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

purposeTo evaluate intravenous meropenem and intraperitoneal 10% aqueous extract of Schinus terebinthifolius (aroeira) in elderly rats after autogenous fecal peritonitis.

methodsThirty 18-month-old Wistar rats underwent peritonitis with 4 mL/kg of autogenous fecal solution. They were stratified into groups: control without treatment; study I, treated with meropenem (40 mg/kg); and study II, treated with meropenem at the same dose and intraperitoneal 10% aqueous extract of aroeira. The animals were monitored for 15 days until euthanasia. The study was approved by Ethics Committee.

resultsThere was no significant weight loss in the study-II group (p = 0.6277), while the study-I group showed partially recovered weight (p = 0.0187). The study-II group had 90% negative blood cultures, while the study-I group had in 50% of the animals (p = 0.1479). Survival in the study-II group was higher than in study-I group (p = 0.0462). The morbidity score for abdominal and thoracic cavity was lower in the study-II group as compared with study-I group (p = 0.0001).

conclusionsThe use of meropenem associated with the intraperitoneal 10% aqueous aroeira extract after induction of autogenous fecal peritonitis in elderly rats produced greater survival, less weight loss, and lower morbidity compared to the use of meropenem alone.
