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

aimsHypercholesterolaemia and myeloperoxidase (MPO) overexpression are two well-recognized risk factors for ischaemic heart disease. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) agonists have recently been shown to reduce ischaemic heart injury in hypercholesterolaemic animals. However, whether PPARgamma agonists may exert their cardioprotective effects by eliminating those risk factors that increase ischaemic injury remains unknown. METHODS AND

resultsMale New Zealand rabbits were fed with a normal or a high-cholesterol diet for 8 weeks, treated with vehicle or rosiglitazone (RSG, 3 mg/kg/day for the last 5 weeks) and subjected to myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (1 h/4 h). MPO expression, activity, and distribution, cardiac caspase-3 activity, and myocardial infarct size were determined. Diet-induced hypercholesterolaemia caused a significant increase in neutrophil MPO expression/activity (7.2-/5.4-fold). Hypercholesterolaemia also tripled MPO activity in ischaemic/reperfused hearts when compared with rabbits fed with a normal diet. Surprisingly, MPO immunostaining was not only observed in perivascular and extracellular spaces in ischaemic/reperfused hearts, but also in cardiomyocytes. This intracardiomyocyte MPO staining was further intensified by hypercholesterolaemia. There is a strong positive correlation between cardiac MPO activity and caspase-3 activity, and treatment with an MPO inhibitor significantly reduced post-ischaemic caspase-3 activation. Treatment with RSG markedly inhibited hypercholesterolaemia-induced leucocyte MPO overexpression and activation, reduced MPO activity in ischaemic/reperfused hearts, decreased caspase-3 activity, and reduced myocardial infarct size (P < 0.01).

conclusionOur results demonstrated that hypercholesterolaemia and MPO overexpression are causally related and that PPARgamma agonists may have great therapeutic value in ischaemic heart disease patients with multiple complications such as hypercholesterolaemia and diabetes.
