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

Silibinin is a traditional medicine and utilized for liver protection with antioxidant, anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis properties. However, its role in myocardial I/R injury and the mechanism involved is currently unknown. In the present study, Silibinin treatment improves cardiac function and limits infarct size, and subsequently inhibits fibrotic remodeling in mice with myocardial I/R injury. Mechanistically, silibinin reduces cardiomyocytes apoptosis, attenuates mitochondrial impairment and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, alleviates ROS generation, neutrophil infiltration and cytokines release. Consistently, silibinin prevents H9C2 cells from hypoxia/reperfusion-induced cell death, oxidative stress and inflammation
