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

Annexin A5 (AnxA5) is known to have anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties. Inflammation and apoptosis are key processes in post-ischemic cardiac remodeling. In this study, we investigated the effect of AnxA5 on left ventricular (LV) function and remodeling three weeks after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI-R) injury in hypercholesterolemic ApoE*3-Leiden mice. Using a mouse model for MI-R injury, we demonstrate AnxA5 treatment resulted in a 27% reduction of contrast-enhanced MRI assessed infarct size (IS). End-diastolic and end-systolic volumes were decreased by 22% and 38%, respectively. LV ejection fraction was increased by 29% in the AnxA5 group compared to vehicle. Following AnxA5 treatment LV fibrous content after three weeks was reduced by 42%, which was accompanied by an increase in LV wall thickness of the infarcted area by 17%. Two days and three weeks after MI-R injury the number of cardiac macrophages was significantly reduced in both the infarct area and border zones following AnxA5 treatment compared to vehicle treatment. Finally, we found that AnxA5 stimulation leads to a reduction of IL-6 production in bone-marrow derived macrophages in vitro. AnxA5 treatment attenuates the post-ischemic inflammatory response and ameliorates LV remodeling which improves cardiac function three weeks after MI-R injury in hypercholesterolemic ApoE*3-Leiden mice.
