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

Myocardial infarction (MI) triggers acute inflammation, marked by neutrophil infiltration. Although neutrophils are central to this response, the exact role of various neutrophil-derived factors is not fully understood. Clinical studies have linked one such enigmatic factor, chitinase-3 like-1, to MI outcomes. Hence, we investigated its role in post-MI remodeling. We found that chitinase-3 like-1 (CHI3L1) is upregulated after MI and secreted by activated neutrophils but does not directly affect neutrophil activity. To assess whether increased CHI3L1 influences ventricular remodeling, we subjected mice to non-reperfused MI and administered recombinant CHI3L1. Increased CHI3L1 levels worsened ventricular remodeling. In contrast, CHI3L1-deficient mice showed reduced ventricular remodeling after MI. To explore the underlying mechanisms, we assessed interactions with other cells known to be important in ventricular remodeling. Immunoprofiling of infarcted CHI3L1-deficient mouse hearts revealed a faster decline in neutrophil and monocyte numbers, indicating quicker resolution of inflammation. These findings provide direct evidence that CHI3L1 exacerbates ventricular inflammation and remodeling following MI through gain- and loss-of-function approaches.
