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

Sepsis aggregates undesirable immune response causing depression of ventricular myocardium and diastolic dysfunction. This present study examined the effect of a plant-derived flavone tangeretin (TG) on autophagy and reduction in myocardial dysfunction. The sepsis was induced by cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Abnormal changes were seen in the heart after the sepsis induction. These abnormalities were analyzed based on the cardiac markers, namely Cardiac myosin light chain-1 (cMLC1) and Cardiac troponin I (cTnl), echocardiography, and plasma parameters, like Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and Creatinine kinase (CK). Microanatomy of the heart was studied using hematoxylin and eosin stained histopathological samples of cardiac tissue. Western blot technique was used to detect the nature and extent of protein with the amount of a specific RNA (gene expression) in the cardiac homogenate. Oxidative damage was analyzed using redox marker, reduced glutathione. This study successfully showed that TG attenuated sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction by inhibiting myocardial autophagy via silencing the Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) expression and acting on the AKT/mTOR pathway. The present findings supported that TG is a novel cardioprotective therapeutic target for sepsis induced myocardial dysfunction.
