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.
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
backgroundMyocardial injury caused by myocardial ischemia (MI) is still a severe condition that can result in apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Remifentanil is a selective, ultra-short-acting, µ-opioid receptor agonist opioid. It can improve sinusoidal heart rate patterns in the fetus, for bupivacaine-induced cardiotoxicity, and with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiomyocytes injuries. This study aimed to explore the cardioprotective effects of remifentanil in MI model rats.
methodsSprague Dawley (SD) rats were split into five groups at random, including a control group, Isop group, low-dose remifentanil treatment group (10 µg/kg), medium-dose remifentanil treatment group (20 µg/kg), and a high-dose remifentanil treatment group (40 µg/kg). The MI model was achieved by subcutaneously injecting rats with isoproterenol (85 mg/kg) for two consecutive days. With the expression of apoptotic molecules, myocardial systolic function index, inflammation, antioxidant enzymes, and the myocardial enzyme taken into account, the data was analyzed.
resultsAfter treatment with remifentanil, the left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), fraction shortening (FS), and heart rate (HR) were significantly increased in comparison with the Isop group. Creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), Mb, and cTnl expressions were decreased. Meanwhile, the levels of cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-9 were decreased. Remarkably, the levels of reactive oxidative species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were observed to be repressed, while the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was significantly increased. More importantly, the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and interferon (IFN)-γ were decreased.
conclusionsRemifentanil has significant potential as a therapeutic intervention strategy for ameliorating myocardial injury after MI and these findings provide the rationale for further clinical studies.
