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

The gravitational field is an important determinant of cardiovascular function. Exposure to microgravity during spaceflight may lead to a series of maladaptive alterations in the cardiovascular system. The authors have previously demonstrated that microgravity can increase the susceptibility to myocardial ischemia‑reperfusion (IR) injury under simulated microgravity. Although Notch1 signaling protects against myocardial IR injury, whether Notch1 protects against myocardial IR injury under simulated weightlessness remains unknown. The present study is designed to investigate the role of the Notch1 receptor in myocardial IR injury under simulated weightlessness. The differences in Notch signaling expression and myocardial infarct size following myocardial IR were compared between normal rats and tail‑suspended rats that were kept in 30˚ head‑down tilt and hindlimb unloading position. The data revealed low expression levels of Notch1 receptor and its endogenous ligand Jagged1 in normal adult rat hearts. However, significantly higher expression of Notch1 was observed in the border zone compared with the infarcted area and the remote zone following myocardial IR. Notch1 expression was notably reduced in the infarcted hearts of tail‑suspended rats compared with the control group. Conversely, the myocardial infarct size was significantly increased in tail‑suspended rats compared with the control rats. In conclusion, these data suggested that the proper function of Notch signaling may be hampered under simulated microgravity.
