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

Diabetes mellitus is considered to be a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the most common cause of death in diabetes. However, therapeutic strategies for myocardial protection in patients with diabetes are still limited. Cordycepin is a traditional Tibetan medicine with a long history of widespread use, and exerts a wide range of anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidative effects. In recent years, although the therapeutic potential of cordycepin has attracted the attention of researchers, it remains unknown whether cordycepin plays a protective role in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury in diabetic patients. Here, using a diabetic mouse model, we found that cordycepin protected diabetic hearts from MI/R injury by promoting mitochondrial fusion and Mfn2 expression. Our
