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

Correlation of cardiomyocyte apoptosis with duration of hypertension, severity of hypertension and caspase-3 expression in hypertensive rats was analyzed. Sixty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were selected and randomly divided into the observation group (n=30) and control group (n=30), and the rat models of hypertension were established by virtue of transverse aortic constriction (TAC). The rats in the two groups were further divided into the 7-day subgroup (n=10), 14-day subgroup (n=10) and 28-day subgroup (n=10), respectively according to their survival time after TAC. The blood pressure values of the rats in each group were measured through intubation of carotid artery to calculate the mean arterial pressure (MAP). The conditions of cardiomyocyte apoptosis were detected using terminal dexynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to measure the expression of caspase-3 in the myocardial tissues, and correlation analysis was performed. The MAPs in 7-, 14- and 28-day subgroups of the observation group were significantly higher than those in the corresponding subgroups of the control group (P<0.05). The 7-, 14- and 28-day subgroups of the observation group had remarkably elevated myocardial caspase-3 expression levels compared with the subgroups of the control group (P<0.05). The apoptosis rates of myocardial cells in the three subgroups of the observation group were obviously higher than those in the corresponding subgroups of the control group (P<0.05). Pearson's correlation analysis indicated that the cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate of hypertensive rats was positively correlated with the duration of hypertension, severity of hypertension and caspase-3 expression (P<0.05). Hypertension can induce apoptosis of myocardial cells, and the apoptosis becomes more serious with the constantly elevated level and prolonged duration of hypertension. In addition, the activity of caspase-3 has a close correlation with cardiomyocyte apoptosis.
