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

For patients with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), cardiac dysfunction accompanied by anxiety is an extremely common comorbidity. Although the association between these two conditions has received some attention, the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we functionally characterized two distinct glutamatergic (Glu) neural pathways in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) of male mice, a pathway from the NTS to the periaqueductal gray (PAG) that mediates anxiety-like behaviors in MIRI mice, and a pathway from the NTS to the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) that influences cardiac dysfunction following MIRI. Chemogenetic inhibition of these two pathways simultaneously ameliorated both the anxiety-like behaviors and cardiac dysfunction in MIRI mice. Thus, our study reveals that the distinct circuits NTS
