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

Capsaicin (Cap) has been reported to have beneficial effects on cardiovascular system, but the mechanisms underlying these effects are still poorly understood. Apoptosis has been shown to be involved in mitochondrial dysfunction, and upregulating expression of SIRT1 can inhibit the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes induced by anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R). Therefore, the aim of this study was to test whether the protective effects of Cap against the injury to the cardiomyocytes are mediated by SIRT1. The effects of Cap with or without coadministration of sirtinol, a SIRT1 inhibitor, on changes induced by A/R in the cell viability, activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine phosphokinase (CPK), levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), related protein expression, mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening, and apoptosis rate in the primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were tested. Cap significantly increased the cell viability, upregulated expression of SIRT1 and Bcl-2, and decreased the LDH and CPK release, generation of ROS, loss of MMP, mPTP openness, activities of caspase-3, release of the cytochrome c, and apoptosis of the cardiomyocytes. Sirtinol significantly blocked the cardioprotective effects of Cap. The results suggest that the protective effects of Cap against A/R-induced injury to the cardiomyocytes are involved with SIRT1.
