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

Pyroptosis is an inflammatory cell death that regulates cardiomyocyte loss after myocardial infarction. Reports indicate that nicorandil has a strong anti-inflammatory effect and protects the myocardium from myocardial infarction. However, its relationship with pyroptosis is largely unreported. Here, we investigated to influence and mechanism of action of nicorandil on cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. Forty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to sham, MI, MI + nicorandil, and MI + nicorandil + TAK242 groups (10 per group). Myocardial infarction modeling was performed through ligation of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery. The function of cardiac was evaluated through echocardiography, detection of myocardial adenine nucleotides, cTnI, LDH, TTC, and HE staining. Moreover, we used qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, and Western blotting to examine the expression of pyroptosis-related molecules and the inflammasome pathway of TLR4/MyD88/NF-
