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

The traditional Chinese medicine Shensong Yangxin (SSYX) can improve the clinical symptoms of arrhythmia in an integrated manner. This study aimed to investigate the electrophysiological effect of SSYX on the hearts of myocardial-infarcted rabbits and further explore the mechanism by which SSYX alleviates myocardial fibrosis. Myocardial infarction (MI) was established in rabbits by ligation of the left circumflex coronary. The rabbits were treated with SSYX (0.5 g/kg/d) or saline for 8 weeks by oral administration. Microelectrode array (MEA) technology was used in vivo for extracellular electrophysiological recordings of the infarct border zone. Masson's trichrome staining was used to observe myocardial fibrosis. Western blotting was performed to evaluate the protein expression levels of collagen I (COL I) and collagen III (COL III). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) was performed to evaluate the TGF-β1 and MMP-2 mRNA expression levels. The results showed that the total activation time (TAT) and the dispersion of TAT were significantly increased and the excitation propagation markedly disordered after MI. SSYX could significantly decrease TAT and the dispersion of TAT, and significantly ameliorate the chaotic spread pattern of excitation. Furthermore, SSYX treatment could significantly decrease COL I and COL III protein levels and down-regulate TGF-β1 and MMP-2 mRNA expression levels in MI rabbits. It was concluded that SSYX may ameliorate cardiac electrophysiological abnormalities in infarcted hearts by decreasing the protein levels of COL I and COL III, down-regulating the mRNA expression levels of TGF-β1 and MMP2, and thereby reducing adverse cardiac remodeling.
