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

This study aimed to compare the renal impairments in post-myocardial infarction (MI) rats with normal renal biochemical parameters at baseline with versus without cardiac dysfunction and explore the potential mechanisms involved in these differences. Sprague-Dawley rats with permanent ligation of coronary artery were used as MI models. Renal function, histological and molecular changes were compared between the reduced ejection fraction (EF) (EF < 40%) group and the preserved EF (EF ≥ 40%) group 3 or 9 weeks post-MI. The results revealed that blood cystatin C increased significantly at 9 but not 3 weeks, but it was not associated with cardiac dysfunction. Renal fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltrations increased significantly in the reduced EF group than in the preserved EF group at 3 and 9 weeks. Glomerular podocyte injury, identified by increased immunostaining for desmin and decreased immunostaining for Wilms' tumor-1, was more significant in the reduced EF group than in the preserved EF group at 9, but not 3 weeks.
