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

purposeCoronary microembolization (CME) is associated with progressive cardiac dysfunction, myocardial inflammation, and apoptosis. Resveratrol (RES) has a considerable role in cardioprotection. However, the contribution and possible mechanisms of RES in CME have not been clearly understood.

methodsIn the current study, 40 SD rats were randomly selected and categorized into various groups including CME, CME + resveratrol (CME + RES), CME + resveratrol+ LY294002 (CME + RES + LY), and sham groups (10 animals in each group). The inert plastic microspheres (42 μm) were injected into the rats' left ventricle for developing the CME model. Then resveratrol (25 mg/kg/d) was given to the rats in the CME + RES and CME + RES + LY groups for one week before CME induction. Furthermore, LY294002 (10 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into the rats of the CME + RES + LY group 0.5 hours before CME modeling. The cardiac functions, serum levels of myocardial injury biomarkers, myocardial histopathology, and mRNA and proteins associated with myocardial apoptosis were all assessed 12 hours after surgery.

resultsThe results revealed that resveratrol pretreatment alleviated the CME-induced myocardial damage by improving cardiac dysfunction, and lowering the serum level of myocardial injury biomarkers, myocardial microinfarct size, and cardiomyocyte apoptotic index. Pretreatment with resveratrol reduced the level of proteins and mRNAs associated with the pro-apoptosis in myocardial tissues and increased the levels of proteins and mRNAs associated with the anti-apoptosis. Moreover, the combined treatment of resveratrol and LY294002 reversed the observed protective effects.

conclusionResveratrol can inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis, thus attenuating the CME-induced myocardial injury by triggering the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β cascade.
