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

Allograft rejection is an important issue post cardiac transplantation. In order to investigate the effect of combined treatment with simvastatin and rapamycin on allograft rejection, a cardiac transplantation rat model was employed in the present study. The survival time of rats following cardiac transplantation was recorded, while histopathological alterations were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The levels of transcription factors were measured by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. In addition, the levels of CD4
