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

To explore the molecular mechanism of aerobic exercise to improve heart failure and to provide a theoretical basis and experimental reference for the treatment of heart failure. Nine-week-old male mice were used to establish a left ventricular pressure overload-induced heart failure model by transverse aortic constriction (TAC). The mice were randomly divided into four groups: a sham group (SHAM), heart failure group (HF), heart failure + SKQ1 group (HS) and heart failure + aerobic exercise group (HE). The mice in the HE group were subjected to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise interventions. The mitochondrion-targeting antioxidant (SKQ1) contains the lipophilic cation TPP, which targets scavenging mitochondrial ROS. The HS group was subjected to SKQ1 (100 nmol/kg/d) interventions, which were initiated 1 week after the surgery, and the interventions lasted 8 weeks. Cardiac function was assessed by ultrasound, cardiomyocyte size by H&E and WGA staining, myocardial fibrosis by Masson's staining, and myocardial tissue oxidative stress and apoptosis by DHE and TUNEL fluorescence staining, respectively. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of mitochondrial quality control, inflammation, and apoptosis-related proteins. In the cellular level, an in vitro cellular model was established by isolating primary cardiomyocytes from neonatal mice (2-3 days) and intervening with Ang II (1 μM) to mimic heart failure. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial membrane potential were determined in the cardiomyocytes of each group by DHE and JC-1 staining, respectively. Myocardial fibrosis was increased significantly and cardiac function was reduced significantly in the heart failure mice. Aerobic exercise and SKQ1 intervention improved cardiac function and reduced myocardial hypertrophy and myocardial fibrosis in the heart failure mice significantly. Meanwhile, aerobic exercise and SKQ1 intervention reduced the number of DHE-positive particles (
