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

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has a protective effect on distal organ injury after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. We aimed to investigate the protective efficacy of VNS on hepatic I/R injury-induced acute skeletal muscle injury and explore its underlying mechanisms. To test this hypothesis, male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham group (sham operation, n = 6); I/R group (hepatic I/R with sham VNS, n = 6); and VNS group (hepatic I/R with VNS, n = 6). A hepatic I/R injury model was prepared by inducing hepatic ischemia for 1 h (70%) followed by hepatic reperfusion for 6 h. VNS was performed during the entire hepatic I/R process. Tissue and blood samples were collected at the end of the experiment for biochemical assays, molecular biological preparations, and histological examination. Our results showed that throughout the hepatic I/R process, VNS significantly reduced inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, while significantly increasing the protein levels of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) and decreasing the levels of acetylated forkhead box O1 and Ac-p53, in the skeletal muscle. These data suggest that VNS can alleviate hepatic I/R injury-induced acute skeletal muscle injury by suppressing inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, potentially via the SIRT1 pathway.
