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

backgroundTo investigate the impact of autophagy on cardiomyocyte membrane connexin 43 (Cx43) expression, distribution, and phosphorylation in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI).

methodsTwenty-four male SD rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group, a chloroquine (CQ) + sham operation group, an I/R group, and a CQ + I/R group. The MI/RI model was established by reversible ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery to induce ischemia for 30 min and reperfusion for 2 h. The left ventricular infarct size was measured by TTC (2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride) and Evans blue double staining. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) content was detected by automatic biochemical analyzer. Autophagy related gene Beclin1, Cx43, and p-Cx43 protein expressions were tested by western blot. Cx43 and p-Cx43 distributions in ventricular myocardium were observed by immunofluorescence analysis.

resultsCompared with the I/R group, the left ventricular infarct size, serum cTnI content, reperfusion arrhythmia severity, and in vivo induced ventricular fibrillation threshold, and Beclin-1 protein expression were significantly reduced in CQ + I/R group (P < 0.05). Compared with the SH group, Beclin-1 protein expression was significantly enhanced, while Cx43 and p-Cx43 levels were obviously downregulated in the I/R group. Beclin-1 protein declined, whereas Cx43 and p-Cx43 levels enhanced in CQ + I/R group compared with the I/R group.

conclusionAutophagy may reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and malignant arrhythmia by improving the acute remodeling of myocardial cell membrane Cx43.
