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

backgroundTumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) has been reported to play an important role in ischemia reperfusion injury and ischemic preconditioning (IPC). However, its role is not completely understood. Recently, normothermic IPC (NIPC), hyperthermic IPC (HIPC), preconditioning (PC) with 17-beta estradiol (estrogen, E2) and E2 pretreatment were proven to be effective in reducing ischemia reperfusion injury.

objectivesTo investigate the detrimental effects of TNF-α on the heart, and the protective effects of NIPC, HIPC, E2 PC and pretreatment on TNF-α-induced injury.

methodsA Langendorff-perfused rat heart model was used for the present study. Hearts isolated from male rats were studied under eight different conditions (n=5 each): negative control; control treated with TNF-α without any further treatment; NIPC (preconditioned at 37°C); HIPC (preconditioned at 42°C); E2 PC; E2 pretreatment; normal, untreated hearts plus E2; or pretreated hearts perfused for 60 min with TNF-α and an E2-containing buffer.

resultsTNF-α treatment resulted in deterioration of heart function. HIPC offered better protection by significantly increasing left ventricular developed pressure (Pmax) and coronary flow (P<0.01), and by decreasing left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (P<0.01). NIPC or pretreatment of the hearts with E2 normalized left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, coronary flow and coronary vascular resistance (P<0.001); however, it did not normalize Pmax. The combination of E2 and HIPC did not show any synergetic protection; however, the addition of HIPC normalized Pmax (P<0.001).

conclusionsTNF-α treatment resulted in deterioration of heart hemodynamics, which were reversed by HIPC, E2 PC and pretreatment. The combination of these treatments did not add to the previously observed protection compared with when they were used individually.
