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

First described in 1998, apelin is one of the endogenous ligands of the apelinergic receptor. Since its discovery, its possible role in human physiology and disease has been intensively studied. Apelin is a native cardioprotective agent that the body synthesizes to create atheroprotective, antihypertensive, and regenerative effects in the body. By antagonizing the RAA system, apelin could play an important role in heart failure and hypertension. It is also involved in myocardial protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury, post-ischemic remodeling, and myocardial fibrosis. A small number of studies even suggest that serum apelin levels may be involved the development of life-threatening arrhythmias. All this information generated excitement about potential therapeutic effects in patients with heart failure and myocardial infarction. The therapeutic index of apelin is unknown but is anticipated to be favorable based on the small number of studies. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms by which apelin exerts its cardioprotective effects and its connection with the cardiorenal axis. Also, we report the potential therapeutic applications of synthetic and native regulated apelin. If larger studies can be performed, it is possible that apelin-mediated drug treatment may play a major role for a large number of patients worldwide in the future.
