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

backgroundTransient episodes of ischemia in a remote organ (remote ischemic preconditioning, RIPC) can attenuate myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury but the underlying mechanisms of RIPC in the target organ are still poorly understood. Recent animal studies suggested that the small redox protein thioredoxin may be a potential candidate for preconditioning-induced organprotection. Here we employed a human proteome profiler array to investigate the RIPC regulated expression of cell stress proteins and particularly of thioredoxin in heart tissue of cardiosurgical patients with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

methodsRIPC was induced by four 5 minute cycles of transient upper limb ischemia/reperfusion using a blood pressure cuff. Right atrial tissue was obtained from patients receiving RIPC (N = 19) and control patients (N = 19) before and after CPB. Cell stress proteome profiler arrays as well as Westernblotting and ELISA experiments for thioredoxin (Thio-1) were performed employing the respective tissue samples.

resultsProtein arrays revealed an up-regulation of 26.9% (7/26; CA IX, Cyt C, HSP-60, HSP-70, pJNK, SOD2, Thio-1) of cell stress associated proteins in RIPC tissue obtained before CPB, while 3.8% (1/26; SIRT2) of the proteins were down-regulated. Array results for thioredoxin were verified by semi-quantitative Westernblotting studies which showed a significant up-regulation of thioredoxin protein levels in cardiac tissue samples of RIPC patients taken before CPB (RIPC: 5.36 ± 0.85 a.u.; control: 3.23 ± 0.39 a.u.; P < 0.05). Quantification of thioredoxin levels in tissue of RIPC and control patients by ELISA experiments further confirmed the Westernblotting results (RIPC: 0.30 ± 0.02 ng/mg protein; control: 0.24 ± 0.02 ng/mg protein; P < 0.05).

conclusionWe provide evidence for thioredoxin as a RIPC-induced factor in heart tissue of cardiosurgical patients and identified several cell stress associated proteins that are regulated by RIPC and may play a role in RIPC-mediated cardioprotection.
