Correlation between Amitriptyline-Induced Cardiotoxic Effects and Cardiac S100b Protein in Isolated Rat Hearts.
Article in Balkan medical journal, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundAmitriptyline is an important cause of mortality due to its cardiovascular toxicity.
aimsTo investigate the changes in levels of cardiac S100b protein on amitriptyline-induced cardiotoxicity and also to examine the correlation between amitriptyline-induced cardiotoxic effects and cardiac S100b protein in an isolated rat heart model. STUDY
designAnimal experimentation, isolated heart model.
methodsAfter a stabilization period, isolated hearts were randomized to two groups (n=5 and n=7). In the control group, isolated hearts were subjected to an infusion of 5% dextrose for 60 minutes. In the amitriptyline group, 5.5×10
resultsIn comparison to control treatment, amitriptyline infusion decreased left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), dp/dtmax and heart rate (HR) and significantly prolonged QRS duration (p<0.05). The semiquantitative scores for S100b protein levels in amitriptyline-infused hearts were higher than in the control group (p<0.01). At the end of the experiment, in the amitriptyline-infused group, significant correlations were found between LVDP and S100b protein scores (r=-0.807, p=0.003) and between QRS duration and S100b protein scores (r=0.859, p=0.001).
conclusionOur results indicate that the S100b protein may be a helpful indicator or biomarker in studying the cardiotoxic effects of amitriptyline.
