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

backgroundThis study investigated the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on acute myocardial injury and clinical outcome in adult patients undergoing valve replacement surgery.

methodsSixty-three adult patients scheduled for elective valve replacement undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were randomly assigned to control or remote ischemic preconditioning treatment. RIPC was applied beginning with the first surgical incision by three times of inflating the cuff to 200 mmHg for 5 min, followed by 5 min of deflation. The plasma creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were determined. The preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative characteristics, and hemodynamics values were recorded during the study.

resultsThere were no significant differences in patient preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative characteristics and hemodynamics values between groups. The activity of CK-MB and cTnI was significantly lower in RIPC group than CON group at 4 and 48 h after aortic unclamping.

conclusionsThe present study demonstrated that remote ischemic preconditioning might reduce release of CK-MB and cTnI in patients undergoing valve replacement. However, RIPC does not improve the clinical outcome of these patients.
