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

objectiveVentricular arrhythmias (VAs) are a common complication of chronic ischaemic heart failure (CIHF). The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of pinocembrin in a rat model of VAs induced by CIHF and further examine the possible mechanism.

methodsRats were subjected to ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery to mimic CIHF and then received pinocembrin treatment daily for 2 months. The vivo electrophysiology were performed to determine the effect of pinocembrin on ventricular electrical activity. The expression of Cav1.2, Kv4.2, and NGF was determined by Western blot. The structural change of ventricle was tested by the Echocardiography, Masson staining, and HE staining. The effect of pinocembrin on sympathetic nerve-related markers was detected by the immunostaining and the ELISA was used to test for biomarkers associated with heart failure.

resultsPinocembrin increased the expression of ion channel protein Cav1.2 and Kv4.3, ameliorated the shortening of action potential duration (APD) and reduced the incidence and duration of ventricular fibrillation (VF). Pinocembrin also reduced the expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) and improved the autonomic nerve remodelling. In addition, pinocembrin reduced the area of infarct area and myocardial fibrosis, accompanied by increasing the expression of connexin protein 43 (C

conclusionWe demonstrate that pinocembrin reduces cardiac nerve remodelling and protects against Vas induced by CIHF. The findings suggest that pinocembrin can be a promising candidate for the treatment of VAs.
