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

backgroundPsychological stress can provoke and aggravate myocardial ischemia, and this stress can even trigger acute coronary syndromes or sudden cardiac death. Therefore, for the first time, this study aimed to investigate the method for establishing a rat model of myocardial ischemia with psychological stress and its evaluation.

methodsForty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the sham (S, n=10), myocardial infarct (MI, n=10), psychological stress (MODEL, n=10), and myocardial infarct with psychological stress (MI + MODEL, n=10) groups. The rat model of psychological stress was established by measuring the data from activity restriction for 6 hours and followed by tail clamp stimulation for 5 minutes every day for 14 days. The rat model of the myocardial infarct with psychological stress was established by occluding the left coronary anterior descending artery in the MODEL rats. The body weight of rats was measured daily, the behavior parameters were evaluated via open-field test and elevated plus-maze, tongue color and sublingual vein were observed, rats' acral blood flow perfusion was detected by PIM II (Perfusion Imager II), mesenteric microcirculation was measured by capillaroscopy, and hemodynamics was measured by a polygraph system. An automatic biochemical analyzer determined the content of serum cTnT (cardiac troponin T), Hcy (homocysteine), and activity of LDH (lactate dehydrogenase). Myocardial infarct size was measured with TTC (triphenyhetrazolium chloride) staining.

resultsWe found that rats in the psychological stress (MODEL) group were characterized by coarse hair, dark mucosa of the lips and claw, low spirit, decreased body weight, and increased anxiety. Compared with rats in the sham group, rats in the MODEL + MI group showed decreased mesenteric blood flow, narrowed arteriole and venule diameter, reduced acral blood flow perfusion, and LV ±dp/dt

conclusionsIn conclusion, the rat model of myocardial ischemia with psychological stress was successfully established, and manifested as aggravating behavioral disorder, mesenteric microcirculation and left ventricular dysfunction, and myocardial damage.
