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

backgroundTo investigate the effects of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) gene transfer with left-atrium local positioning on the fibrinolytic activity of rabbit left atrial blood.

methodsA total of 48 rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 16): gene therapy, vector control, and blank control groups. Each group was divided into 2 subgroups (8 rabbits in each subgroup) according to the sacrifice time on the postoperative 3(rd) and 14(th) days. The tPA mRNA transcriptional level and exogenous tPA protein expression within regional myocardial tissues of the left atrium were detected on the postoperative 3(rd) and 14(th) days. After excluding the animals that died, 6 samples of each subgroup were randomly selected for the statistics (n = 6).

resultsThe tPA activities in rabbit left atrial blood and peripheral blood were also detected. The tPAmRNA and tPA protein expressions within regional myocardial tissues were detected on the postoperative 3(rd) and 14(th) days. The tPA activity in left atrial blood in the gene therapy group was higher than the tPA activity of other groups (p < 0.02). No significant differences were observed in the tPA activity of peripheral blood among the 3 groups before surgery. A gelatin-coated Dacron piece, which carried the tPA gene, was implanted in the left atrial appendage.

conclusionsThe gelatin-coated Dacron piece could express and secrete tPA proteins in the region, thus enhancing the fibrinolytic activity of left atrial blood. KEY WORDS: Fibrinolytic activity; Gelatin coating; Gene; Left atrium; Tissue-type plasminogen activator.
