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

Post-ischaemic reperfusion may precipitate cardiomyocyte death upon correction of intracellular acidosis due in part to mitochondrial permeability transition. We investigated whether glycine, an amino acid with poorly understood cytoprotective properties, may interfere with this mechanism. In cardiomyocyte cultures, addition of glycine during re-energization following 1 h of simulated ischaemia (NaCN/2-deoxyglucose, pH 6.4) completely prevented necrotic cell death associated with pH normalization. Glycine also protected against cell death associated with pH normalization in reoxygenated rat hearts. Glycine prevented cyclosporin-sensitive swelling and calcein release associated with re-energization in rat heart mitochondria submitted to simulated ischaemia or to Ca(2+) stress under normoxia. NMR spectroscopy revealed a marked glycine depletion in re-energized cardiomyocytes that was reversed by exposure to 3 mm glycine. These results suggest that intracellular glycine exerts a previously unrecognized inhibition on mitochondrial permeability transition in cardiac myocytes, and that intracellular glycine depletion during myocardial hypoxia/reoxygenation makes the cell more vulnerable to necrotic death.
