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

Objective: The incidence of ischemic cardiomyopathy increases annually worldwide, and it is the leading cause of mortality in China. Although interventional diagnostic and therapeutic techniques can promptly open the culprit vessels, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), resulting from restored blood flow, is often inevitable. Semaglutide (Sem), a novel GLP-1 analogue, is primarily utilized in managing Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Recent research indicates that semaglutide may reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore whether semaglutide can ameliorate MIRI and explore its potential mechanism. Methods and results: : A mouse model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) was created by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) first for 45 min and then reperfusing the heart for 24 h. Assessment of cardiac function and fibrosis were conducted through small animal ultrasound and Masson's staining. It was observed that semaglutide enhanced cardiac function recovery and diminished fibrosis in the I/R model. Conclusion: Semaglutide can reduce I/R-induced myocardial injury by inhibiting the ferroptosis of cardiomyocytes. In the mechanism, semaglutide mainly reduce the expression of S100A9 via the activation of PKC signaling pathway. Therefore, semaglutide is considered as a potential treatment option for MIRI.
