Roles of melatonin and its receptors in cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Review in Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been an economic and health burden in most countries around the world. Reperfusion is a standard treatment for AMI as it can actively restore blood supply to the ischemic site. However, reperfusion itself can cause additional damage; a process known as cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Although several pharmacological interventions have been shown to reduce tissue damage during I/R injury, they usually have undesirable effects. Therefore, endogenous substances such as melatonin have become a field of active investigation. Melatonin is a hormone that is produced by the pineal gland, and it plays an important role in regulating many physiological functions in human body. Accumulated data from studies carried out in vitro, ex vivo, in vivo, and also from clinical studies have provided information regarding possible beneficial effects of melatonin on cardiac I/R such as attenuated cell death, and increased cell survival, leading to reduced infarct size and improved left-ventricular function. This review comprehensively discusses and summarizes those effects of melatonin on cardiac I/R. In addition, consistent and inconsistent reports regarding the effects of melatonin in cases of cardiac I/R together with gaps in surrounding knowledge such as the appropriate onset and duration of melatonin administration are presented and discussed. From this review, we hope to provide important information which could be used to warrant more clinical studies in the future to explore the clinical benefits of melatonin in AMI patients.
