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

This review article discusses pharmacological approaches to optimizing myocardial metabolism during ischemia. Fatty acids are the main fuel for the healthy heart, with a lesser contribution coming from the oxidation of glucose and lactate. Myocardial ischaemia dramatically alters fuel metabolism, causing an accelerated rate of glucose conversion to lactate and a switch from lactate uptake by the heart to lactate production. This causes a dramatic disruption in cell homeostasis (e.g. lactate accumulation and a decrease in pH and ATP). Paradoxically, moderately ischemic tissue (approximately 50% of normal flow) continues to derive most of its energy (50-70%) from the oxidation of fatty acids despite a high rate of lactate production. This ischaemia-induced disruption in cardiac metabolism can be minimized by metabolic agents that reduce fatty acid oxidation and increase the combustion of glucose and lactate, resulting in clinical benefit to the ischemic patient. Agents that inhibit fatty acid beta-oxidation, such as ranolazine and trimetazidine, have proven to be effective in the treatment of stable angina. Treatment of acute myocardial infarction patients with an infusion of the glucose-insulin-potassium, which results in suppression of myocardial fatty acid oxidation and greater glucose combustion, has proven effective in reducing mortality. These metabolic therapies are free of direct hemodynamic or chronotropic effects, and thus are well positioned for use alongside traditional agents such as beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists or calcium channel antagonists.
