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

backgroundCardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) causes systemic inflammatory response and ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury.

objectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of simvastatin on myocardial injury in cardiac valve surgery with CPB.

methodsOne hundred thirty patients were randomly assigned to the statin group (

resultsSimvastatin significantly reduced the duration of assisted ventilation (

conclusionPerioperative statin therapy reduced myocardial injury by regulating myocardial autophagy and activating the phosphorylation of AMPK. The registration number of this study is ChiCTR-TRC-14005164.
