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

This study aimed to examine whether exogenous NaHS can protect myocardial mitochondrial injury from sepsis by enhancing the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma co-activator 1α (PGC-1α)/ nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2) pathway and mitochondrial biosynthesis in mice. Animals were divided into sham-operated, sepsis, sepsis + 25 μmol/L NaHS, sepsis + 50 μmol/L NaHS, sepsis + 100 μmol/L NaHS, and sepsis + 200 μmol/L NaHS groups. The myocardial damage was evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining for myocardial microstructure and serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) detection. The myocardial mitochondrial damage was evaluated through transmission electron microscopic observation of mitochondrial microstructure and detection of the degree of myocardial mitochondrial swelling. The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level was used to appraise the mitochondrial function. The mRNA expression levels of Nrf2, PGC-1α, and Tfam were analyzed to explore the molecular mechanism.

resultsIn the sepsis group, the structure of myocardial tissue and mitochondria were significantly damaged, the serum cTnI level increased (

conclusionsExogenous NaHS had a protective effect against myocardial mitochondrial injury in sepsis. The mechanism might lie in enhancing the PGC-1α/NRF2 pathway and mitochondrial biosynthesis.
