Can Lipoic Acid Attenuate Cardiovascular Disturbances Induced by Ethanol and Disulfiram Administration Separately or Jointly in Rats?
Article in Oxidative medicine and cellular longevity, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
The exogenous lipoic acid (LA) is successfully used as a drug in the treatment of many diseases. It is assumed that after administration, LA is transported to the intracellular compartments and reduced to dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) which is catalyzed by NAD(P)H-dependent enzymes. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether LA can attenuate cardiovascular disturbances induced by ethanol (EtOH) and disulfiram (DSF) administration separately or jointly in rats. For this purpose, we measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure, recorded electrocardiogram (ECG), and estimated mortality of rats. We also studied the activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) in the rat liver. It was shown for the first time that LA partially attenuated the cardiac arrhythmia (extrasystoles and atrioventricular blocks) induced by EtOH and reduced the EtOH-induced mortality of animals, which suggests that LA may have a potential for use in cardiac disturbance in conditions of acute EtOH intoxication. The administration of EtOH, LA, and DSF separately or jointly affected the ALDH activity in the rat liver since a significant decrease in the activity of the enzyme was observed in all treatment groups. The results indicating that LA is an inhibitor of ALDH activity are very surprising.
