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

Background: This study primarily explored the role of paeonol in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced chronic heart failure (CHF), considering the cardioprotective effect of paeonol on an epirubicin-induced cardiac injury. Methods: DOX-induced CHF-modeled rats were treated with paeonol. Cardiac function and myocardial damage in rats were evaluated by using the multifunction instrument, and the histopathology, apoptosis, and the expression of miR-21-5p and S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (SKP2) in myocardium were detected. The target gene of miR-21-5p was confirmed by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. After the required transfection or paeonol treatment, the viability, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) of the DOX-induced cardiomyocytes were determined. Reverse-transcription quantitative-PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot were performed to quantify the expressions of miR-21-5p, SKP2, and apoptosis-related factors. Results: Paeonol improved cardiac function and also ameliorated the cardiac damage of CHF-modeled rats, where the downregulation of abnormally elevated myocardial damage markers, including brain natriuretic peptide, lactate dehydrogenase, renin, angiotensin II, aldosterone, and endothelin 1, was observed. Paeonol alleviated the histopathological injury and suppressed the apoptosis in CHF-modeled rats, inhibited miR-21-5p expression, and upregulated SKP2 expression Conclusion: Paeonol shows a cardioprotective effect on DOX-induced CHF
