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

Alda‑1, an aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) agonist, has been demonstrated to reduce injury caused by acute myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemia/reperfusion. The present study aimed to investigate whether oral administration of Alda‑1 improved long‑term survival of rats with chronic heart failure (CHF) post‑MI. MI model rats treated daily with Alda‑1 exhibited an increase in 20‑week survival rate compared with untreated MI rats. Alda‑1 treatment decreased the heart weight/body weight ratio, collagen volume, left ventricular (LV) internal diameter at the end of diastole and LV internal diameter at the end of systole, while increasing LV ejection fraction with evident LV fractional shortening. Myocardial cell apoptosis index, the activity of caspase‑3 and the expression of cleaved‑caspase‑3 were also reduced by Alda‑1 treatment. The protective effects of Alda‑1 were associated with reduced 4‑hydroxynonenal accumulation. The results of the present study revealed that the long‑term treatment with Alda‑1 prevented the progression of ventricular remodeling and improved the long‑term survival of rats with CHF post‑MI.
