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

backgroundCardiomyocyte apoptosis is a primary cause for coronary microembolization (CME)-induced cardiac dysfunction. p53 induces cell growth retardation and apoptosis through stress pathway. The present study investigated the mechanism of p53-induced myocardial apoptosis and cardiac dysfunction by activating the mitochondrion apoptotic pathway following CME.

methodsForty SD rats were equally divided into microembolization (CME), sham operation (sham), CME+siRNA-p53, and CME+control-p53 groups. The CME rat model was established by injecting microembolization spheres via the left ventricle. Cardiac ultrasound, TUNEL, fluorescence quantitative PCR, and Western blot were used to assess the cardiac function indicators, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and the expressions of mRNA and protein in myocardial tissues, respectively.

resultsEchocardiography revealed a significantly reduced cardiac function of the CME group than the sham group while the CME-induced cardiac dysfunction was improved in the CME+siRNA-p53 group. The indicators of myocardial apoptosis in the CME group increased significantly than the sham group; those of the CME+siRNA-p53 group decreased significantly than the CME group. Fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot demonstrated that p53, Bbc3 (PUMA), and cleaved caspase-3 expressions were significantly increased, and BCL-2 expression was declined in myocardial tissues of the CME group compared to the sham group. A contrasting result was observed in the CME+siRNA-p53 group as compared to the CME group.

conclusionsP53 is involved in the CME-induced cardiac dysfunction, which may up-regulate Bbc3 to activate BCL-2/caspase3 mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and induce myocardial apoptosis. Inhibiting the p53 expression can effectively suppress this pathway, thereby reducing myocardial apoptosis and cardiac dysfunction.
