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

objectiveThe traditional Chinese medicinal Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza), has long been used to treat cardiovascular diseases, however, the mechanism underlying its effects remain unclear. Here, this study would to investigate the effects of Danshen injection on myocardial infarction-induced cardiac damage.

methodsDanshen was injected into mice models at low dose (3 g/kg per day) or at high dose (6 g/kg per day) after left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) ligation. After 4 weeks, cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography. Paraffin sections of the hearts were used for isolectin GS-IB4 staining. Protein and mRNA expression levels of HIF1α and VEGFA were evaluated by western blotting and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

resultsThe hearts showed significantly impaired angiogenesis and slightly increase of HIF1α and VEGFA expression after LAD ligation. The angiogenesis defect and heart failure were partially rescued in Danshen treatment mice with great increase of HIF1α and VEGFA mRNA levels and protein expression.

conclusionThese results illustrated that the protective effects of Danshen injection in responsive cardiac angiogenesis were at least in part due to increased HIF1α and VEGFA expression.
