Pinocembrin Decreases Atrial Fibrillation Susceptibility in a Rodent Model of Depression.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Depression is often comorbid with cardiovascular diseases and contributes to the development and maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF). Ample research demonstrated that pinocembrin had protective effects on the neuropsychiatric and cardiovascular systems Methods: One hundred and ten male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups: the CTL group (the normal rats administered saline), the CTP group (the normal rats administered pinocembrin), the MDD group (the depressed rats administered saline), the MDP group (the depressed rats administered pinocembrin), the MDA group (the depressed rats administered apocynin), and the MPA group (the depressed rats administered both pinocembrin and apocynin). Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) was performed for 28 days to establish the depression model. Pinocembrin was administered Results: Pinocembrin treatment significantly attenuated the abnormality of heart rate variability (HRV), the prolongation of action potential duration (APD), the shortening of the effective refractory period (ERP), the reduction of transient outward potassium current (I Conclusion: Pinocembrin is a therapeutic strategy with great promise for the treatment of AF in depressed patients by reducing oxidative stress.
