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

backgroundLipid dysregulation is a classical risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet scanty evidence existed regarding cardiac lipid metabolism that is directly related to heart damage. Recently, the relationship between dyslipidemia and pro-inflammatory insults has led to further understanding on the CVD-predisposing effects of dyslipidemia. The aims of the present study were to investigate whether high-fat high-cholesterol (HFHC) diet-induced hyperlipidemia would cause heart damage and to study the potential role of local cardiac lipid dysregulation in the occurrence of cellular injury.

methodsMale Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into normal chow or HFHC diet groups, and sacrificed after 2 or 4 weeks, respectively. Lipid peroxidation marker level was measured. Lipid parameters in the rat hearts were detected. Cardiac damage was evaluated.

resultsHFHC diet increased serum levels of cholesterol and free fatty acids (FFAs) and led to systemic oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory status. Cardiac lipid dysregulation, which was characterized by elevated levels of cholesterol and adipocyte (A)- and heart (H)-fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs), occurred after HFHC diet for 4 weeks. Cardiac damage was further evident with elevated circulating H-FABP levels, increased cardiac interstitial fibrosis and the loss of troponin I.

conclusionOur data demonstrated that HFHC diet led to systemic and cardiac lipid dysregulation, accompanied by systemic oxidative and pro-inflammatory stresses, and these may finally cooperate to cause a series of pathological changes of the heart tissue. Our findings suggest that maintenance of lipid regulation may be essential in the prevention of heart damage.
