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

Introduction: The Methods: To detect fluorescent material leaking from intracardiac microvessels deep within the left ventricular wall under healthy conditions, female mice were injected with fluorescent dextran via the tail vein. The heart tissue was quickly removed, frozen, sliced, and examined directly under fluorescence. Additionally, the extent of the fluorescent substance diffusion was measured in young and aged female mice. Results: We observed fluorescent substances leaking from deep heart capillaries under healthy conditions. We then developed a method to measure capillary permeability by assessing the diffusion area. Furthermore, this method showed that the permeability of capillaries in the hearts of aged female mice was lower than that of young female mice. Conclusion: We have developed a method to assess capillary permeability in deep tissue. This research will improve our understanding of how capillaries exchange substances and support tissue function. This new method will not only provide new insights into studies of cardiac disease risk and sex differences, but also assist in developing more advanced
