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

The aim of the present study was to examine the expression of N-cadherin in the myocardial tissues of isoproterenol-induced myocardial hypertrophy in rats. In addition, the present study provided morphological data to investigate the signal transduction mechanisms of myocardial hypertrophy and reverse myocardial hypertrophy. A myocardial hypertrophy model was established by subcutaneously injecting isoprenaline into healthy adult Sprague-Dawley rats. The myocardial tissue was collected, embedded in conventional paraffin, sectioned and stained with hematoxylin and the pathological changes were observed. The expression and distribution of N-cadherin were detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and the changes in mRNA expression of N-cadherin in the myocardial tissues of rats were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Image analysis software was used to quantitatively analyze the expression of N-cadherin. The IHC and immunofluorescence results showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the positive expression of N-cadherin. Furthermore, mRNA expression of N-cadherin, in the myocardial tissues of rats, was consistent with the IHC and immunofluorescence results. Thus, N-cadherin may have a significant function in the occurrence and development of myocardial hypertrophy.
