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
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury occurs during cardiac surgery and is the major factor leading to heart dysfunction and heart failure. Our previous study showed that gene and microRNA expression profiles are altered in heart grafts with extended I/R injury. In this study, we, for the first time, demonstrated that I/R injury upregulates the expression of Polo-like kinase 2 (Plk2) but decreases miR-128 expression in heart cells both in vitro and in vivo. Silencing Plk2 using small interfering RNA (siRNA) protects cells from Antimycin A-induced cell apoptosis/death. Silencing Plk2 also decreases phosphorylated p65 expression but increases Angiopoietin 1 expression. In addition, Plk2 is negatively regulated by miR-128. miR-128 exerts a protective effect on cell apoptosis similar to Plk2 siRNA in response to I/R stress. Methylation inhibitor 5-azacytidine (5-AZ) increases the expression of miR-128 and subsequently reduces Plk2 expression and cell apoptosis. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that Plk2 regulated by miR-128 induces cell apoptosis/death in response to I/R stress through activation of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signal pathway. miR-128 and Plk2 are new targets for preventing cardiac I/R injury or oxidative stress-mediated injury.
