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

Hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is evident; however, the distinct molecular mechanism underlying the oxidative stress-mediated damages to cardiomyocytes remains unknown. Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is known for anti-hypertrophic effects, but low bioavailability makes it unsuitable to exploit its pharmacological properties. We assessed the efficacy of nanotized curcumin, i.e. nanocurcumin, in ameliorating hypoxia-induced hypertrophy and apoptosis in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts and compared it to curcumin. H9c2 cardiomyoblasts were challenged with 0.5 % oxygen, for 24 h to assess hypoxia-induced oxidative damage, hypertrophy and consequent apoptosis. The molecular mechanism underlying the protective efficacy of nanocurcumin was evaluated in regulating Raf-1/Erk-1/2 apoptosis by caspase-3/-7 pathway and oxidative stress. Nanocurcumin ameliorated hypoxia-induced hypertrophy and apoptosis in H9c2 cells significantly (p ≤ 0.01), by downregulating atrial natriuretic factor expression, caspase-3/-7 activation, oxidative stress and stabilizing hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) better than curcumin. Nanocurcumin provides insight into its use as a potential candidate in curing hypoxia-induced cardiac pathologies by restoring oxidative balance.
