Effects of swimming training on myocardial protection in rats.
Article in Biomedical reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Swimming is important for promoting and maintaining health, as it can increase the efficiency of the cardiovascular system and decrease the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. The objective of the present study was to examine whether swimming training could decrease myocardial injury in rats caused by myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into four groups, namely the Sham, coronary artery occlusion, swimming training and ischemic preconditioning (IPC) groups. Myocardial I/R was induced in anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats by a 40-min occlusion followed by a 3-h reperfusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The rats were sacrificed after surgery and their hearts were examined. The results demonstrated that the number of TUNEL-positive nuclei and degree of caspase-3 activation were both significantly increased in the myocardium following myocardial I/R in rats, indicating increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis. On the other hand, swimming training decreased the serum levels of creatine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase and cardiac troponin I, and was associated with reduced histological damage and myocardial infarct size. Furthermore, swimming training also reduced TNF-α levels, caspase-3 activation and enhanced Bcl-2 activation, which decreased the number of apoptotic cells in the myocardium. The findings of the present study showed that swimming training and IPC could similarly decrease myocardial injury following myocardial I/R, and may therefore be used as exercise training to effectively prevent myocardial injury.
