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

backgroundRecent studies have demonstrated that aging is associated with reduced tolerance to ischemia and that the aged (not senescent) female heart has greater susceptibility to ischemia as compared with the aged male heart. Previously, we have shown that ischemia can be modulated with cardioplegia in the male heart; however, efficacy in the female heart was unknown.

methodsIn this study, male and female mature (15 to 20 weeks) aged (>32 months) rabbit hearts (n = 134) were subjected to Langendorff perfusion. Control hearts were perfused for 180 minutes. Global ischemia hearts received 30 minutes of equilibrium, 30 minutes of global ischemia, and 120 minutes of reperfusion. Cardioplegia +/- diazoxide was infused separately, 5 minutes before global ischemia.

resultsGlobal ischemia significantly decreased postischemic functional recovery and significantly increased infarct size in the mature and aged male and female heart (p < 0.05 versus control). The effects of global ischemia were significantly exacerbated (p < 0.05) in the aged heart as compared with the mature heart. Cardioplegia +/- diazoxide significantly increased postischemic functional recovery and significantly decreased infarct size in mature male and female hearts, but these effects were significantly decreased in the aged heart (p < 0.05) and in the aged female as compared with the aged male heart.

conclusionsPostischemic functional recovery and infarct size are affected by age but not by gender. The cardioprotection afforded by cardioplegia is affected by age and gender with a strong age-by-gender interaction for end-diastolic pressure and infarct size. Our results indicate that currently optimized cardioplegia protocols effective in the male heart are not as efficacious in the aged female heart.
