Protective Effects of Different Hypothermal Preservation Solutions on Structure and Function of Isolated Rat Arteries.
Article in Current medical science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveWith the increasing application of vascular reconstruction in surgical procedures, allogeneic vessels are becoming more popular in clinical practice due to their abundant sources, precise diameter matching, improved histocompatibility, and higher long-term patency rate. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of various preservation solutions on the function and structure of the isolated rat abdominal aorta preserved under hypothermal conditions.
methodsThe study utilized a total of 150 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, with 144 rats allocated to the experimental groups and 6 rats allocated to the control groups. The abdominal aorta of the rats was chosen as the subject of our research. The aorta in the experimental groups were randomly assigned to 4 groups: University of Wisconsin (UW) solution group, histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) solution group, normal saline (NS) group, and sodium lactate Ringer's solution (RS) group. Samples were subjected to examination after preservation periods of 1 day, 3 days, 5 days, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, and 90 days. Evaluation of vascular physiological function involved detecting and assessing vasoconstriction ability and measuring cell viability through the MTT test. Evaluation of the vascular wall structure involved tension tolerance tests and pathological staining.
resultsThe pathogen-positive rate in the HTK group and NS group at 1 month was 16.7%. Regarding the vascular skeleton structure, both the UW group and HTK group exhibited intact structures after 2 weeks of preservation, with slightly edematous collagen and elastic fibers, which was significantly better than that of the NS group and RS group. In terms of cell activity and contractile function, all preservation groups showed similar effects within 2 weeks. However, after 2 weeks, the UW group showed the most favorable preservation effect (P<0.05). In terms of vascular tension, different groups exhibited similar effects within 1 week. However, after 2 weeks, the UW group showed the best preservation effect (P<0.05).
conclusionAll 4 types of preservation solution had a preservation effect on the structure and function of isolated blood vessels during short-term hypothermal preservation. However, after 2-week preservation, the UW solution was found to be the most suitable solution for the preservation of blood vessels.
