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

EFNA1 (ephrinA1), a highly expressed tyrosine kinase receptor-ligand in healthy cardiomyocytes, is reduced following myocardial infarction (MI). A single intramyocardial injection of chimeric EFNA1-Fc at the time of ischemia mitigates the injury in both reperfused and non-reperfused mouse myocardium by reducing apoptosis, necrosis, and inflammation. Recently, we have successfully imaged and qualitatively identified endogenous EFNA1 pre- and post-MI using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) coupled with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MALDI/TOF MS). Building on our previous work, we are currently focused on understanding and characterizing EFNA1's role in cardiac tissue by developing an integrated quantitative method to determine endogenous levels of EFNA1 using MALDI-MSI technologies. Herein, we have optimized a method for the relative quantitation of endogenous tryptic EFNA1 peptides detected in the murine heart as compared with routine western blotting. In healthy myocardium, there was approximately 50 ng of endogenous EFNA1 per section of 9.43 mm
