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.
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
Fibroblasts possess receptors for compounds released during ischemia, including bradykinin. The aims of the present study were to investigate tyrosine kinase and p38 MAP kinase signalling in heart derived myofibroblasts in response to bradykinin and preconditioning ischemia. Fibroblasts from neonatal rat hearts were subjected to pharmacological agents and/or simulated ischemia. Cell viability was measured by the conversion of a tetrazolium salt to its formazan derivative. Preconditioning with 30 min of simulated ischemia followed by 30 min recovery resulted in an 85.4% +/- 7.8% increase in cell survival above that of cells treated with prolonged ischemia alone. Cells treated with bradykinin showed a 35% +/- 7.9 increase in cell survival after lethal ischemia. The B2 receptor antagonist Hoe 140 blocked the protective effect of bradykinin, but did not block preconditioning. The K(ATP) channel blocker glibenclamide and the mitochondria specific K(ATP) blocker 5, hydroxydecanoate, abolished the cytoprotection induced by both preconditioning and bradykinin. The non specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein also abolished the cytoprotection. Effective blockade of cytoprotection was obtained with K(ATP) channel blockers and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor when these compounds were given prior to the preconditioning stimulus and not during the lethal insult. The stress activated protein kinase p38 MAP kinase was investigated by Western blotting and by the use of a specific inhibitor (SB203580). Preconditioning reduced phospho-p38 MAP kinase; in contrast, bradykinin administration markedly increased phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase. SB203580 protected cells from lethal simulated ischemia. In conclusion, cell survival-signalling pathways activated by bradykinin or simulated ischemia in heart fibroblasts protect via the opening of K(ATP) channels and are independent of the stress-activated p38 MAP kinase and/or related to inhibition of this kinase.
