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

backgroundDanhong injection (DHI) has been mainly used for the treatment of myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, and coronary heart disease in clinical practice. Our previous studies have shown that DHI improves ventricular remodeling and preserves cardiac function in rats with myocardial infarction (MI). In this study, we focused on the potential mechanism of DHI in protecting cardiac function in MI rats.

methodsSprague-Dawley rats were subjected to ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) to prepare a myocardial infarction (MI) model. After 14 day DHI intervention, cardiac function was measured by echocardiography and myocardial fibrosis was assessed by Masson staining. Differentiated miRNAs were screened using rat immunopathology miScript miRNA PCR arrays, and their results were verified by RT-PCR, immunofluorescence, and immunoblotting.

resultsDHI treatment significantly reduced infarct size and improved cardiac function and hemodynamics in MI rats by echocardiography and morphology. miRNA PCR array results showed that DHI reversed 25 miRNAs known to be associated with inflammation and apoptosis. Moreover, the expression of inflammatory factors TNF-

conclusionsDHI is effective in mitigating inflammation associated with MI by preventing NF-
