Post-Cardiac Arrest Hydrocortisone Use Ameliorates Cardiac Mitochondrial Injury in a Male Rat Model of Ventricular Fibrillation Cardiac Arrest.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background Steroid use after cardiac arrest has been reported to improve survival and neurological outcome in cardiac arrest survivors. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of post-arrest hydrocortisone use on myocardial damage and cardiac mitochondrial injury in a rat model of ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest. Methods and Results Ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest was induced and left untreated for 5 minutes in adult male Wistar rats. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and electric shocks were then applied to achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Successfully resuscitated animals were randomized into 3 groups: control, low-dose hydrocortisone (2 mg/kg), and high-dose hydrocortisone (8 mg/kg). The low-dose hydrocortisone and high-dose hydrocortisone (treatment) groups received intravenous hydrocortisone immediately after ROSC and the control group received saline as placebo. Each group consisted of 15 animals. Within 4 hours of ROSC, both treatment groups showed a higher cardiac output than the control group. At the fourth hour following ROSC, histological examination and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated less myocardial damage and mitochondrial injury in the animals treated with hydrocortisone. In the treatment groups, hydrocortisone mitigated the acceleration of Ca
