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

backgroundThis study aims to investigate the changes in miR-30a expression and myocardial autophagy following osthole treatment in a myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury model.

methodsThirty male Wistar rats (weighing 170 to 220 g, aged 8 weeks) were randomly divided into three groups as control (sham) group, ischemia/reperfusion (model) group, and ischemia/ reperfusion + osthole post-treatment (osthole) group. Masson"s trichrome staining was used to detect myocardial collagen changes. Apoptotic cardiomyocytes in the ischemic area were labeled in situ by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP (2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate) nick end labeling assay. Levels of autophagy markers light chain 3 beta (LC3b) and Beclin-1 in myocardial tissue were detected by western blotting. Expression of miR-30a was detected by quantitative reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction.

resultsCompared with the sham group, ischemia/reperfusion significantly increased collagen contents. Osthole significantly inhibited the ischemia/reperfusion-increased collagen contents. Osthole inhibited the ischemia/reperfusion-increased myocardial fibrosis, myocardial swelling, necrosis, and myocardial atrophy. Osthole also significantly inhibited the ischemia/reperfusionincreased apoptosis of myocardial cells. Moreover, the conversion of LC3b-I to LC3b-II and the Beclin-1 expression were significantly inhibited by ischemia/reperfusion. Osthole treatment significantly increased the conversion of LC3b-I to LC3b-II and Beclin-1 expression in ischemia/reperfusion rats. Finally, the expression of miR-30a was significantly increased in ischemia/reperfusion rats, while Osthole suppressed the expression of miR-30a.

conclusionOsthole promoted autophagy, thereby alleviating myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Osthole protects the myocardium during autophagy by down-regulating miR-30a expression.
