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

In animal models of clinical entities causative of severe right and left ventricular (LV) pressure overload hypertrophy, increased density of the cellular microtubule network, through viscous loading of active myofilaments, causes contractile dysfunction that is normalized by microtubule depolymerization. In this study, 86 male mice were divided into seven groups. The transverse ascending aorta constriction (TAC) in six groups were performed in order to make heart failure model. Mice in each group were injected with G-CSF or/and telmisartan subcutaneously at different time respectively. Results showed that reduction in left ventricular volume and improved function persisted at 2 week, but recurrent dilatation at 4 weeks was associated with a loss of functional improvement. Compared with PBS group, the expression of VEGF protein and HIF-1 mRNA were significantly higher in mice injected with G-CSF or/and telmisartan (P<0.05). The expression of p53 mRNA, myocardial fibrosis and mortality were significantly lower in mice injected with G-CSF or/and telmisartan (P<0.05). It could be concluded that G-CSF can delay the progression of pressure overload induced ventricular reconstruction and heart failure in mice.
