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

The restoration of cardiac function post-myocardial infarction (MI) remains a significant clinical challenge. Emerging evidence indicates that Goji berries ("Gouqi" in Chinese) and their extracts exhibit substantial cardioprotective properties. Here, we introduce fibrin gel-loaded Gouqi-derived nanovesicles (GqDNVs-gel) as a delivery system targeted at the infarcted myocardium. The application of GqDNVs-gel resulted in a marked improvement in survival rates over a 14-day period post-MI, enhanced cardiac function, reduced infarct size, myocardial apoptosis, and excessive fibrosis, and facilitated endogenous repair. Through a combination of transcriptomics and proteomics analyses, alongside in vitro and in vivo experiments, we identified that the cardioprotective effect of GqDNVs are mediated through the inhibition of the p38 MAPK-NF-κB p65 signaling pathway. Furthermore, GqDNVs contain abundant bioactive compounds, including proteins, genetic materials, lipids, polysaccharides, and flavonoids. GqDNVs-gel intervention can reshape the post-MI cardiac environment and modulate myocardial lipid metabolism, specifically impacting glycerophospholipid and α-linolenic acid metabolic pathways. The upregulation of the peptide Arg-Thr-Ile-Glu and the downregulation of phosphatidylethanolamine in the hearts of MI mice after GqDNVs-gel intervention may play crucial roles in modulating the associated metabolic pathways. This study is the first to highlight the multifaceted therapeutic effects of GqDNVs-gel, offering a promising strategy for enhancing cardiac function post-MI.
