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

Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is associated with intricate changes that can eventually lead to heart failure. Galangin is a natural flavonoid derived from the rhizome of the galangal plant that has shown protective effects against a variety of cardiomyopathies. Galangin undergoes methylation at the third hydroxyl position to form Galangin 3-methyl ether (G3-ME), thus increasing its lipophilicity, thereby facilitating its cellular entry and regulatory effects. In this study, we investigated the effects of G3-ME on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and the underlying mechanisms. Two established transgenic mouse models of HCM, i.e., Myh6
