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

introductionHydrogen sulfide is produced endogenously in response to myocardial ischemia and thought to be cardioprotective. The mechanism underlying this protection has yet to be fully elucidated, but it may be related to sulfide's ability to limit inflammation. This study investigates the cardioprotection provided by exogenous hydrogen sulfide and its potential anti-inflammatory mechanism of action.

methodsThe mid left anterior descending coronary artery in 14 Yorkshire swine was acutely occluded for 60 minutes, followed by reperfusion for 120 minutes. Controls (n = 7) received placebo, and treatment animals (n = 7) received sulfide 10 minutes before and throughout reperfusion. Hemodynamic and functional measurements were obtained. Evans blue and triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining identified the area at risk and infarction. Coronary microvascular reactivity was assessed. Tissue was assayed for myeloperoxidase activity and proinflammatory cytokines.

resultsPre-ischemia/reperfusion hemodynamics were similar between groups, whereas post-ischemia/reperfusion mean arterial pressure was reduced by 28.7 +/- 5.0 mm Hg in controls versus 6.7 +/- 6.2 mm Hg in treatment animals (P = .03). Positive first derivative of left ventricular pressure over time was reduced by 1325 +/- 455 mm Hg/s in controls versys 416 +/- 207 mm Hg/s in treatment animals (P = .002). Segmental shortening in the area at risk was better in treatment animals. Infarct size (percent of area at risk) in controls was 41.0% +/- 7.8% versus 21.2% +/- 2.5% in the treated group (P = .036). Tissue levels of interleukin 6, interleukin 8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and myeloperoxidase activity decreased in the treatment group. Treated animals demonstrated improved microvascular reactivity.

conclusionsTherapeutic sulfide provides protection in response to ischemia/reperfusion injury, improving myocardial function, reducing infarct size, and improving coronary microvascular reactivity, potentially through its anti-inflammatory properties. Exogenous sulfide may have therapeutic utility in clinical settings in which ischemia/reperfusion injury is encountered.
