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

Classical ischaemic preconditioning, delayed or second window preconditioning and postconditioning are forms of cardioprotection that are dependent on cell surface receptors, intracellular signalling molecules and kinases that ultimately block formation of the mitochondrial permeability transition. The latter is presumed to cause myocardial necrosis as well as apoptosis, so prevention of its formation upon resumption of perfusion after a prolonged coronary occlusion should be cardioprotective. In all of these forms of cardioprotection, formation of cGMP and activation of protein kinase G (PKG) are recognized to be key steps in the signal transduction pathway. Burley et al. highlight the roles of cGMP and PKG in their comprehensive review. They describe the basic biology of PKG and emphasize its compartmentalization, which may be responsible for the frustration induced by assays for PKG in whole cell lysates and for the spurious conclusions about the role of PKG in cardioprotection. This review will be useful to both the novice and the seasoned investigator.
