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

Although exosomes are extracellular nanovesicles mainly involved in cardioprotection, it is not known whether plasma exosomes of older patients undergoing different types of on-pump cardiac surgery protect cardiomyocytes from apoptosis. Since different exosomal proteins confer pro-survival effects, we have analyzed the protein cargo of exosomes circulating early after aortic unclamping. Plasma exosomes and serum cardiac troponin I levels were measured in older cardiac surgery patients (NYHA II-III) who underwent first-time on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG; n = 15) or minimally invasive heart valve surgery (mitral valve repair, n = 15; aortic valve replacement, n = 15) at induction of anesthesia (T0, baseline), 3 h (T1) and 72 h (T2) after aortic unclamping. Anti-apoptotic role of exosomes was assessed in HL-1 cardiomyocytes exposed to hypoxia/re-oxygenation (H/R) by TUNEL assay. Protein exosomal cargo was characterized by mass spectrometry approach. Exosome levels increased at T1 (P < 0.01) in accord with troponin values in all groups. In CABG group, plasma exosomes further increased at T2 (P < 0.01) whereas troponin levels decreased. In vitro, all T1-exosomes prevented H/R-induced apoptosis. A total of 340 exosomal proteins were identified in all groups, yet 10% of those proteins were unique for each surgery type. In particular, 22 and 12 pro-survival proteins were detected in T1-exosomes of heart valve surgery and CABG patients, respectively. Our results suggest that endogenous intraoperative cardioprotection in older cardiac surgery patients is early mediated by distinct exosomal proteins regardless of surgery type.
