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

Cardiac disease is a global epidemic that is on the rise, despite the recent advances in cardiovascular research. Once the myocardium is injured, it has a limited capacity to activate reparative mechanisms to restore proper cardiac function, leading to the development of systemic heart failure. Autophagy, under certain conditions, may result in cell death, further emphasizing the controversial issues regarding the autophagic process as an adaptive or maladaptive biological response. Although significant progress in understanding the signalling mechanisms of cell death in myocytes has been made, the role of apoptotic cell death and programmed necrosis during heart failure is not completely understood. Insight to how myocytes determine whether to activate apoptotic or programmed necrosis signalling machinery remains under current investigation because it is a major problem for both scientists and clinicians in treating heart failure patients. Herein, the different modes of cell death implicated in heart failure are highlighted, as well as the role of B-cell lymphoma-2 family members and how mitochondria act as central organelles in directing such cell death mechanisms.
