Study of molecular mechanism of Prostaglandin E1 in inhibiting coronary heart disease.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Prostaglandin E1 has been used clinically for improving heart diseases. In this study, we examined the effect of Prostaglandin E1 on blood lipid levels, heart protein and genes expression in coronary heart disease (CHD) rats. Female rats were fed either a control diet or hypercholesterolemic diet for 14 weeks. The feeding of a hypercholesterolemic diet (HCD) increased the serum TC, TG, and LDL-c levels, decreased the serum HDL-c, E2, P, FSH, LH and PRL levels in CHD rats. In addition, The feeding of a HCD diet markedly increased the content of serum TXA2, TXB2, and decreased the content of serum PGI2, and PGI2/TXA2, 6-Keto PGF1a. Furthermore, the feeding of a hypercholesterolemic diet markedly increased expression levels of myocardium Fas and Caspase-3 protein and mRNA levels, vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor mRNA, and decreased RyR2 mRNA in CHD rats. The feeding of Prostaglandin E1 for 14 weeks significantly reversed these abnormal biochemical indexes in rats. These findings suggest that Prostaglandin E1 play a obvious heart protective effect. The mechanisms may be related to restraining the excessive activation of Fas and Caspase-3 protein and modulating some gene expressions associated with CHD.
