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

purposeVolatile anesthetic postconditioning reduces apoptosis through antiapoptotic signaling. Whether sevoflurane postconditioning prevents activation of caspase 9 and 3, which are implicated in the initiation and execution step of apoptosis, is not known.

methodsIsolated perfused guinea pig hearts underwent 30 min global ischemia and 120 min reperfusion [control (CTL)]. Anesthetic postconditioning was elicited with sevoflurane (2%) for 2 min at reperfusion onset (POST). LY294002, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt (protein kinase B) inhibitor; and PD98059, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK) inhibitor, were administered for 10 min before ischemia and throughout the reperfusion period in POST (POST + LY, POST + PD). Left-ventricular-developed (LVDP) and LV end-diastolic (LVEDP) pressures and infarct size were measured. Western blot analysis determined phosphorylated Akt and ERK expression. Myocardial caspase 3 and 9 were determined immunohistochemically.

resultsAfter ischemia-reperfusion, POST had higher LVDP (57 +/- 9 vs. 38 +/- 7 mmHg, p < 0.05) and lower LVEDP (21 +/- 8 vs. 46 +/- 15 mmHg, p < 0.05) versus CTL. Infarct size was significantly reduced in POST versus CTL (15 +/- 3 vs. 41 +/- 11%, p < 0.001). Phosphorylation of Akt and ERK after reperfusion was significantly increased in POST versus CTL. Immunoreactivity for caspase 3 and 9 was greater in the nucleus of myocytes and endothelial cells in CTL. POST attenuated this increased immunoreactivity. LY294002 and PD98059 abolished the effect of POST on caspase 3 and 9 immunoreactivity.

conclusionsSevoflurane postconditioning prevents activation of caspase 3 and 9, mediators of apoptosis in ischemia-reperfusion injury. This caspase activation is mediated by phosphorylation of Akt and ERK.
