Comparison of Del Nido and histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate cardioplegia solutions: an animal study with prolonged ischaemia.

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: Myocardial protection is important for a successful procedure cardiac surgery, and the key element of myocardial protection is cardioplegia. We compared Del Nido cardioplegia (DN) and Bretschneider histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate cardioplegia (HTK) regarding cardioprotective effects in a porcine model of prolonged ischaemia. Methods: Landrace pigs weighing 50-60 kg were randomized to receive either DN ( Results: Pressure-volume measurements revealed better systolic and diastolic left ventricular performance in DN as compared to HTK (both Conclusions: In this porcine model with prolonged ischaemia, DN was superior to HTK in terms of haemoglobin levels, blood electrolytes, spontaneous return of sinus rhythm, left ventricular function, and endothelial injury. Histomorphological parameters indicative of ischaemia/reperfusion injury, oxidative stress and mitochondrial function as well as apoptosis-inducing factors did not differ.
