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

Apoptosis plays a significant role in maladaptive remodeling and ventricular dysfunction following ischemia-reperfusion injury. There is a critical need for novel approaches to inhibit apoptotic cell death following reperfusion, as this loss of cardiac myocytes can progressively lead to heart failure. We investigated the ability and signaling mechanisms of a high-molecular-weight polyethylene glycol-based copolymer, PEG 15-20, to protect cardiac myocytes from hypoxia-reoxygenation (H-R)-induced cell death and its efficacy in preserving ventricular function following extended hypothermic ischemia and warm reperfusion as relevant to cardiac transplantation. Pretreatment of neonatal rat ventricular myocytes with a 5% PEG solution led to a threefold decline in apoptosis after H-R relative to untreated controls. There was a similar decline in caspase-3 activity in conjunction with inhibition of cytochrome c release from the inner mitochondrial membrane. Treatment with PEG also reduced reactive oxygen species production after H-R, and sarcolemmal lipid-raft architecture was preserved, consistent with membrane stabilization. Cell survival signaling was upregulated after H-R with PEG, as demonstrated by increased phosphorylation of Akt, GSK-3β, and ERK1/2. There was also maintenance of cardiac myocyte β-adrenergic signaling, which is critical for myocardial function. PEG 15-20 was very effective in preserving left ventricular function following prolonged hypothermic ischemia and warm reperfusion. PEG 15-20 has a potent protective antiapoptotic effect in cardiac myocytes exposed to H-R injury and may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to decrease myocardial cell death and ventricular dysfunction at the time of reperfusion during acute coronary syndrome or following prolonged donor heart preservation.
