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

Despite important advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the field is in urgent need of increased research and scientific advancement. As a result, innovation, improvement and/or repurposing of the available research toolset can provide improved testbeds for research advancement. Langendorff perfusion is an extremely valuable research technique for the field of CVD research that can be modified to accommodate a wide array of experimental needs. This tailoring can be achieved by personalizing a large number of perfusion parameters, including perfusion pressure, flow, perfusate, temperature, etc. This protocol demonstrates the versatility of Langendorff perfusion and the feasibility of achieving longer perfusion times (4 h) without graft function loss by utilizing lower perfusion pressures (30-35 mmHg). Achieving extended perfusion times without graft damage and/or function loss caused by the technique itself has the potential to eliminate confounding elements from experimental results. In effect, in scientific circumstances where longer perfusion times are relevant to the experimental needs (i.e., drug treatments, immunological response analysis, gene editing, graft preservation, etc.), lower perfusion pressures can be key for scientific success.
