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

objectiveTo investigate the mechanistic pathway of both indocyanine green (ICG)-001 in attenuated endotoxemia-induced cardiac depression through downregulation cardiac Wnt/ β-catenin cell signaling. MATERIALS AND

methodsAdult (4-6 months) male Albino-Webster mice, their weights ranged from 25 to 30 g, were pretreated with ICG-001 i.p., following cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Left ventricle (LV) function was assessed using a microcatheter system. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and cytokines mediators in plasma and myocardium were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Further, the cardiac Wnt protein measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction while β-catenin analysis through Western blotting procedure. The pathological changes and cells injury in the myocardium were examined using hematoxylin and eosin staining.

resultsCLP mice displayed worse LV function. The exaggerated cardiac depression in CLP mice was associated with higher levels of MCP-1 and cytokines in plasma and myocardium together with greater cardiac levels of cardiac troponin-I and Wnt/β-catenin. Neutralization of sepsis by either ICG-001resulted in improved LV function and reductions in inflammatory mediators.

conclusionTaken together, these data showed that ICG-001 improved LV function following sepsis through downregulation of Wnt/β-catenin and serve as a potential mechanistic pathway ICG-001 in therapeutic cardiac endotoxemia in animal model.
