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

1. Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) has been implicated in several cellular pathways assumed to beneficially affect heart failure progression. In contrast, population-based studies demonstrate an increased incidence of heart failure in patients treated with PPARgamma agonists. Therefore, we examined the effect of pioglitazone, a PPARgamma agonist, on chronic left ventricular remodeling after experimental myocardial infarction (MI) in mice. 2. Mice were treated with placebo or pioglitazone (20 mg x kg(-1) by gavage) from week 1 to week 6 after ligation of the left anterior descending artery. Serial transthoracic echocardiography was performed at weeks 1, 3, and 6. 3. Over 6 weeks, there was no difference in mortality (placebo 12%, pioglitazone 10%). Echocardiography showed significant left ventricular dilatation in animals with MI (week 6, end-systolic area, placebo sham 9.6+/-1.3 vs placebo MI 14.4+/-2.5 mm(2)). However, there was no difference between the placebo and pioglitazone groups (week 6, end-systolic area, pioglitazone MI 14.8+/-2.9 mm(2), P=NS vs placebo). 4. Moreover, there were no changes in metabolic parameters, inflammation, and collagen deposition. Endothelial function in the aorta was not changed by PPARgamma activation. 5. In conclusion, PPARgamma activation did not adversely affect left ventricular remodeling and survival in mice with chronic MI. However, we were also not able to identify a protective effect of pioglitazone.
