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

objectiveWe waimed to investigate whether H2S can relieve the myocardial fibrosis caused by doxorubicin through Keap1-Nrf2.

methodsSprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group (Control); DOX model group (DOX); H2S intervention model group (DOX+H2S); H2S control group (H2S). DOX and DOX+H2S group were injected with doxorubicin (3.0 mg/kg/time) intraperitoneally. Both of the Control group and H2S groups were given normal saline in equal volume, 2 weeks later, DOX+H2S and H2S group were controlled with NaHS (56 μmol/kg/d) through the abdominal cavity, while the Control and DOX group were injected with normal saline of the same dosage intraperitoneally.

resultsMyocardial injury and myocardial cell apoptosis were significantly increased, the H2S content in myocardial tissue was remarkably down-regulated, the expression levels of MDA, Keap1, caspase-3, caspase-9, TNF-α, IL1β, MMPs and TIMP-1 in rat myocardial tissue was significantly up-regulated (P< 0.05), and the expression levels of GSH, NQO1, Bcl-2 were down-regulated compared with those of control group. The above results can be reversed by the DOX+H2S group. There is no statistically significant difference between the Control group and the H2S control group.

conclusionsThese results suggest that H2S can improve DOX-induced myocardial fibrosis in rats, and the keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis may be involved in the mechanism.
