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

backgroundMyocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is an important cause of myocardial infarction and heart failure after cardiovascular surgery. Galanthamine (Gal) is an important Amaryllidaceae alkaloid with anti-acetylcholinesterase and anti-inflammatory activity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of Gal in myocardial I/R injury.

methodsIn this study, an animal model of myocardial I/R injury was constructed, and the rats were divided into five groups (n=10): the sham, I/R model, I/R + Gal (1 mg/kg), I/R + Gal (3 mg/kg), and I/R + Aspirin (20 mg/kg) groups. The expression of related proteins was detected by Western blotting and Immunohistochemistry, and Histological lesion was detected by HE staining.

resultsResults showed that Gal improves I/R-induced cardiac dysfunction in rats. Moreover, Gal inhibits I/R-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related apoptosis by suppressing the expression of CHOP, Cleaved caspase 12, and caspase 3, and promoting the expression of CADD34 and BiP in rats. Furthermore, Gal mitigates I/R-induced myocardial fibrosis through restraining the expression of α-SMA and Collagen I in rats. Mechanically, Gal promoted the expression of AMPKα1, Nrf2 and HO-1. However, AMPK inhibitor Compound C exhibited the opposite effects. Collectively, this finding suggests that Gal improves I/R-induced cardiac dysfunction, ERS-related apoptosis, and myocardial fibrosis by activating AMPK/Nrf2 pathway in myocardial I/R rats.

conclusionsGiven this evidence, Gal may be a potential therapeutic drug for the treatment of I/R injury.
