Modulation of Interleukin-1 and -18 Mediated Injury in Donation after Circulatory Death Mouse Hearts.
Article in The Journal of surgical research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundDonation after circulatory death donors (DCD) can expand the donor pool for heart transplantation, which primarily depends on brain death donors. Ischemia and reperfusion injury are inherent to the DCD process. We hypothesize that pharmacologic inhibition of interleukin-1 (IL-1) and/or IL-18 is protective to DCD hearts. MATERIALS AND
methodsFollowing clinical protocol, in-situ ischemia time in control beating-heart donor (CBD) and DCD groups was less than 5 and 40 min, respectively. Wild type (WT) C57Bl6/j, IL-1 receptor type I knockout (IL-1RI-KO), and IL-18 KO mice were used. Hearts were reanimated for 90 min on a Langendorff system with Krebs-Henseleit buffer at 37°C, to assess physiologic parameters. Recombinant IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and/or IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) were added to the Krebs-Henseleit buffer to inhibit IL-1 and/or the IL-18 signaling, respectively.
resultsDeveloped pressure and ± dP/dt were significantly impaired in the DCD-WT group compared to CBD-WT (P ≤ 0.05). Troponin release was higher in DCD-WT groups. Functional parameters were preserved, and troponin release was significantly less in the DCD knockout groups. Heart function was improved in DCD groups treated with IL-1Ra or IL-18BP compared to the DCD-WT group.
conclusionsHeart function was significantly impaired in the DCD-WT group compared to CBD-WT. Genetic deletion or pharmacologic blockade of IL-1 or IL-18 was protective to DCD hearts.
