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

backgroundThis study assessed the therapeutic effects of renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) on post-myocardial infarction (MI) ventricular remodeling and sympathetic neural remodeling in dogs. The possible mechanisms and optimal time for treatment are discussed.

methodsWe randomly assigned 30 dogs to five groups: RDN 1 week before MI (RDN1w + MI; n = 6), RDN 1 week after MI (MI1w + RDN; n = 6), RDN 2 weeks after MI (MI2w + RDN; n = 6), control (N; n = 6), and MI (n = 6). A canine model of myocardial infarction was established by interventional occlusion with a gelatin sponge via the femoral artery. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels were measured and echocardiography was performed to assess cardiac function and heart size. All dogs were killed at the end of the experiment and samples of cardiac and renal arteries were obtained. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 in cardiac and of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in renal arteries was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Sympathetic innervations in the infarction border zone were investigated via Western blotting and real-time PCR.

resultsLeft ventricular function in the MI group decreased significantly, while plasma BNP and ET-1 levels as well as MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression increased. Compared with the MI group, the RD groups showed significantly reduced MMP‑2, MMP‑9, TH, and growth-associated protein (GAP) 43 expression in the RDN1w + MI, MI1w + RDN, and MI2w + RDN groups was significantly improved. Additionally, the expression of TH in renal arteries decreased after RDN.

conclusionRDN has preventive and therapeutic effects on post-MI ventricular remodeling and sympathetic neural remodeling. The mechanism of RDN is likely mediated through restraint of renal sympathetic nerve activity.
