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

Aeromedical evacuation (AE) is an invaluable tool for the transport of critically injured patients to care facilities. There is increasing evidence obtained from animal models and human patients that exposure to AE-relevant hypobaria within a few days of injury can worsen outcomes. The cause of this secondary injury is not well understood but it may be related to changes in gene expression induced by exposure to evacuation-relevant conditions. In order to explore the causes of secondary injury, gene expression induced by AE-relevant flight conditions was analyzed. Adult male rats were exposed to flight cabin-relevant hypobaria (8000 or 4000 ft equivalents) and/or different oxygen concentrations (21% or 100%) for 5 or 10 hr. At the end of the exposures, RNA was isolated from lung, blood, heart, and brain (hippocampus), levels of gene expression were measured via microarray analysis, and canonical pathway analysis identified the primary gene pathways enriched by the exposures. This information should be useful to not only optimize the health status of trauma patients undergoing aeromedical evacuation but also help determine which gene expression pathways could be modulated to optimize the therapeutic efficacy of the body's endogenous protection and repair mechanisms.
