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

Cardiomyocyte apoptosis and autophagy play important roles in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but the effect of leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) on the apoptosis and autophagy of H9c2 has not yet been reported. It was found through differential gene analysis and LASSO analysis that LRG1 was the key gene in AMI. In this study, western blot was applied to detect the protein expression of Bax, Bcl2, LC3, p62, LRG1 and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α); CCK-8 assay was employed to detect cell viability; Annexin V-FITC/PI staining was adopted to evaluate apoptosis, and immunofluorescence assay was applied to detect autophagy. Under hypoxia conditions in H9c2 cells, LRG1 protein levels were increased, the cell activity was decreased, and apoptosis and autophagy were promoted; the downregulated LRG1 significantly enhanced cell viability but inhibited apoptosis and autophagy. When knocking down HIF-1α in the overexpressed LRG1 cells, the effects of LRG1 were reversed under hypoxia condition. In conclusion, LRG1/HIF-1α promoted H9c2 cell apoptosis and autophagy in hypoxia, potentially providing new ideas for the determination and treatment of AMI.
