Research progress on the mechanisms related to myocardial injury in rats with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury treated by acupuncture at neiguan (PC6) acupoint: A narrative review.
Review in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Acute myocardial infarction presents a considerable clinical burden with high morbidity and mortality rates, with reperfusion therapy being the primary treatment modality. However, following revascularization myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury can trigger secondary functional cardiac damage, accelerating necrosis of cardiomyocytes. This poses a significant challenge to patient health and well-being. Acupuncture therapy, a cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine, holds promise in addressing cardiovascular ailments. Neiguan point is an 8 meridians meeting point, belonging to the hand jueyin pericardium meridian, and connected with yinwei meridian. It has the effects of calming the heart and calming the spirit, regulating qi and relieving pain. Modern medical research has confirmed that it can regulate cardiac function through the neuro-humoral-immune network, protect myocardial function, and have a good effect in the treatment of cardiopulmonary diseases. When strategically combined with other acupuncture points, the Neiguan stimulation point exhibits potential in mitigating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. This study explores the impact of acupuncture at the Neiguan point in rats with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, aiming to shed light on preventive and therapeutic strategies for this condition.
