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

It has been demonstrated that excessively activated endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is related to myocardial injury. The study was designed to explore the possible role of sulfur dioxide (SO(2)) in protecting excessively activated ERS in rats with isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial injury. Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, ISO, and ISO + SO(2) groups. Cardiac catheterization-derived hemodynamic parameters and myocardial enzymes in plasma were measured. Microstructure changes in myocardial tissues were examined. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was detected by TUNEL method. Myocardial SO(2) content and aspartate amino transferase (AAT) activity were detected. Meanwhile, protein and mRNA expressions of myocardial AAT1, AAT2, and ERS markers (GRP78, caspase-12, and CHOP) were evaluated. The results showed that cardiac function was decreased, myocardial microstructure was damaged, and myocardial enzyme levels and cardiomyocyte apoptosis were increased with a downregulated endogenous AAT/SO(2) pathway, and that ERS markers were upregulated at transcriptional and translational levels in ISO-treated rats. However, the administration of an SO(2) donor, resulting in an increased SO(2) content in myocardial tissues, improved cardiac function and myocardial structure, and ameliorated myocardial enzyme levels and cardiomyocyte apoptosis associated with a downregulation of excessively activated ERS. In conclusion, the endogenous AAT/SO(2) pathway was probably responsible for the inhibition of excessively activated ERS, which might be involved in the mechanism of ISO-induced myocardial injury.
