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

backgroundNucleoside transporters are crucial in regulating the functions of adenosine. This study investigated the contribution of equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT) type 4 to adenosine transport in cardiomyocytes under simulated ischemic conditions and whether the inhibition of ENT4 could protect cardiomyocytes against ischemia-reperfusion injury.

methodsAC16 human cardiomyocytes were used to create a model to simulate ischemia/reperfusion injury. ENT4 activity was inhibited by decynium-22 or specific siRNA against ENT4. The protein expressions of nucleoside transporters were measured by western blot analysis. The transport activity was studied by [

resultsThe [

conclusionThe cell culture model has suggested that ENT4 may play a role in adenosine transport in cardiomyocytes under ischemic conditions. Inhibition or downregulation of ENT4 may be a potential approach for cardioprotection but this notion should be further validated using animal model.
