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

Objective: To evaluate the effect of doxofylline on reducing the inflammatory response in mechanically ventilated rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: A total of 40 eight-week-old male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups of 10 rats each: a control group (group C), a model group (group M), a model + natural saline group (group N), and a doxofylline group (group D). Then mechanical ventilation, drug intervention, and the extraction of the experimental material were performed in each group. Pulmonary tissue samples were taken after 120 minutes of mechanical ventilation and the pulmonary histopathological changes and the wet/dry (W/D) weight ratio of the pulmonary tissue were identified. The levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 10 (IL-10) were detected using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the expression levels of c-Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) and phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) were detected using immunohistochemistry. Results: Compared with group C, the pulmonary histopathology in groups M, N, and D showed typical changes associated with COPD. Furthermore, the W/D weight ratio and levels of TNF-α, JNK, and p-JNK in the pulmonary tissue increased in groups M, N, and D (P < 0.05), while the levels of IL-10 decreased (P < 0.05). Compared with group M, no statistically significant changes in the above indicators were detected in the pulmonary tissue of group N (P > 0.05). Compared with group N, the W/D weight ratio and levels of TNF-α, JNK, and p-JNK in the pulmonary tissue decreased in group D (P < 0.05), while the levels of IL-10 increased (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Doxofylline might attenuate pulmonary inflammatory responses in mechanically ventilated rats with COPD, and the JNK/stress-activated protein kinase signaling pathway is involved in doxofylline's inhibition of inflammatory responses in the pulmonary tissue of rats with COPD.
