Puerarin attenuates myocardial ischemic injury and endoplasmic reticulum stress by upregulating the Mzb1 signal pathway.

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
Objective: This study investigated the role of Mzb1 in puerarin protection against heart injury and dysfunction in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) mice. Methods: C57BL/6 mice were pretreated with and without puerarin at doses of 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg for 14 days before establishing the AMI model. An AMI model was induced by ligating the left descending anterior coronary artery, and AC16 cardiomyocytes were treated with H Results: Puerarin dose-dependently reduced myocardial infarction area and injury, accompanied by the improvement of cardiac function in AMI mice. AMI mice manifested an increase in myocardial oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, apoptosis, and mitochondrial biogenesis dysfunction, which were inhibited by pretreatment with puerarin. Puerarin also prevented Mzb1 downregulation in the hearts of AMI mice or H Conclusion: These results suggest that puerarin can protect against cardiac injury by attenuating oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress through upregulating the KLF4/Mzb1 pathway and that puerarin may expand our armamentarium for the prevention and treatment of ischemic heart diseases.
