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

Background: Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury can occur in a wide variety of diseases and surgeries. If necessary, the blood flow should be restored, including re-anastomosis by removing the intestines with impaired circulation. In this process, anastomotic strength is as important as inflammatory responses and oxidative stress. Therefore, we conducted the study to investigate the effects of lupeol on intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, not only biochemically and histopathologically but also on anastomotic strength and miRNAs. Methods: Female rats were randomly divided into six groups. While only laparotomy was performed in the control group (Group C), anastomosis was performed in the sham group (Group S). In the other groups, the superior mesenteric artery was clamped for 45 minutes. In the groups I/R Results: Lupeol treatment, which was statistically significant in some parameters, demonstrated positive effects by decreasing TNF, IL-6, MDA, caspase-3, histopathological damage levels and increasing GSH and bursting pressure. In addition, lupeol decreased miR-34a-5p expression and increased miR-29b-3p and miR-495-3p expression. Conclusion: Lupeol protected the intestines from I/R damage with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Besides, it reduced the histopathological damage and increased the anastomotic strength. Additionally, miR-29b-3p, miR-34a-5p, miR-495-3p expressions were altered by lupeol.
