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

Embelin has been used to treat fever and inflammatory diseases for thousands of years. Although reports indicate that embelin has antiinflammatory effects, its effects on myocardial injury following cardiac arrest (CA) have not been previously explored. In this study, we aim to investigate the protective effects of embelin on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) following CA in a rabbit model. Pro-inflammatory (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) cytokines, cardiac troponin I (cTnI), necrosis ratio, apoptotic index (AI), hemodynamics, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65, and histological damage have been measured or evaluated. Embelin reverts TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 to basal levels and reduces the serum level of cTnI, the necrosis ratio, the AI, and the expression of NF-κB p65. Meanwhile, it improves the hemodynamics and myocardial function. Moreover, embelin-treated groups also showed improved myocardial morphology. Our results indicate that embelin may protect the heart against myocardial IRI following CA via its antiinflammatory abilities.
