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

backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the protective roles and mechanisms of taurine on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced cell apoptosis, and thus provide evidence for the treatment of myocardial I/R injury and the development of related drugs.

methodsThe cardiomyocytes of neonatal rats were used to prepare the hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury model; gene transfection and small interfering RNA (siRNA) target gene silencing techniques were performed, along with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay to detect cell survival, flow cytometry to detect cell apoptosis, and Western blot to measure protein expressions.

resultsCompared with the H/R group, the apoptosis rates of cardiomyocytes in the three taurine (TAU)-protection groups were significantly decreased (p < 0.05). As the TAU concentration increased, the expression of Bcl-2 protein in H/R cardiomyocytes also gradually increased (p < 0.05), while the protein expressions of p53 up-regulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), Bax, glucose-regulated protein 78kD (GRP78), and caspase-3 gradually decreased (p < 0.01). TAU strongly downregulated the expression of PUMA-transfected cardiomyocytes. After targeted silencing of PUMA, the apoptosis rate was significantly decreased, while the expression of Bcl-2 protein was increased, and that of Bax protein was decreased (p < 0.05).

conclusionsTAU significantly inhibited myocardial H/R-induced apoptosis, and the mechanism may be related to a downregulated expression of PUMA.
