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

It was previously shown that total saponins extracted from Aralia taibaiensis (sAT) have potent antioxidant activities for treating diabetes mellitus and attenuate d-galactose-induced aging. Since diabetes mellitus and aging are closely associated with cardiac dysfunction, particularly ischemic heart disease, sAT may have potential protective activity against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI). However, the anti-MI/RI effects of sAT have yet to be examined, and the possible molecular mechanisms remain to be determined. The present study was undertaken to investigate the anti-MI/RI activities of sAT and to elucidate the mechanisms underlying these effects in rats using TUNEL and Hoechst 33258 staining. The results confirmed the cardioprotective effects in vivo and elucidated the potential molecular mechanisms of sAT in vitro. Pretreatment with sAT significantly reduced infarct size, decreased the levels of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase in the serum and blocked apoptosis. In addition, sAT inhibited A/R-induced apoptosis by decreasing DNA strand breaks, caspase-3 activity and cytochrome c release in H9c2 cells. Furthermore, sAT markedly increased the phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and acetyl CoA carboxylase and elevated the Bcl2/Bcl-2-associated X protein ratio. These effects were blocked by compound C. The results suggested that sAT pretreatment exerts protective effects on myocardial cells in vitro and in vivo against MI/RI-induced apoptosis by activating AMPK pathway.
