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

Ventricular septum defects (VSDs) are common types of congenital heart diseases caused by developmental defect; they contribute to 25%-30% of all adult congenital heart diseases. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) is widely expressed in mammalian tissues and in the immune system, regulating cell differentiation and immune and inflammatory responses. The PPAR-γ gene has recently been found crucial for heart development, but the mechanism of action is not clear. This study aims to investigate the effects of the PPAR-γ gene in the myocardium on the development of ventricular septation. In this study, we applied Cre-loxP recombination enzyme (CRE) technology to downregulate the expression of the PPAR-γ gene in different cardiac tissues, RT-PCR to examine the expression of the c-fos and TGF-β1 genes, and histology staining to check the defect of embryonic heart at embryonic day 14.5 (E14.5). We found that the downregulation of the PPAR-γ gene resulted in a ventricular membranous septation defect of the embryonic heart at E14.5. Furthermore, only conversion of a Tnt:Cre, but not Mef2c:Cre, Tie2:Cre, or Wnt:Cre PPAR-γ floxed allele to a null allele resulted in VSD. PPAR-γ
