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

Ginsenosides have been studied extensively in recent years due to their therapeutic effects in cardiovascular diseases. While most studies examined the different ginsenosides individually, few studies compare the therapeutic effects among the different types. This study examined how effective protopanaxadiol, protopanaxatriol ginsenosides Rh2, Rg3, Rh1, and Rg2 of the ginsenoside family are in protecting H9c2 cardiomyocytes from damage caused by hypoxia/reoxygenation. In the current study, a model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion was induced in H9c2 cardiomyocytes by oxygen deprivation via a hypoxia chamber followed by reoxygenation. Our data show that structures similar to that of protopanaxadiol, which lacked the hydroxide group at C6, were more effective in lowering apoptosis than structures similar to protopanaxatriol with a hydroxide group at C6. As the compounds increased in size and complexity, the cardioprotective effects diminished. In addition, the S enantiomer proved to be more effective in cardioprotection than the R enantiomer. Furthermore, the immunoblotting analysis demonstrated that ginsenosides activate AMPK but suppress JNK signaling pathways during hypoxia/reoxygenation. Thus, ginsenosides treatment attenuated hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced apoptosis via modulating cardioprotective AMPK and inflammation-related JNK signaling pathways.
