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

Purpose: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is characterized by myocardial cell death and exacerbated inflammatory responses that seriously affect cardiac function and patient prognosis. Limonin is a natural compound extracted from citrus fruits and has various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, the role and mechanism of action of limonin in myocardial I/R injury remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the effects and underlying mechanisms of action of limonin on myocardial cell pyroptosis and inflammatory responses in mouse myocardial I/R injury. Methods: By analyzing the GSE225105 dataset in the Gene Expression Omnibus database, differentially expressed genes in I/R injury were screened and combined with the target genes of limonin in the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database. In the Results: Limonin significantly inhibited OGD/R-induced pyroptosis and the release of inflammatory factors in AC16 myocardial cells, and these effects could be reversed by the caspase-3/gasdermin E (GSDME) pathway activator triclabendazole. Using Conclusion: This study revealed the protective effects of limonin in reducing myocardial I/R injury by inhibiting the caspase-3/GSDME pathway, thereby providing a theoretical basis for the development of limonin-based myocardial protection strategies.
