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

Introduction: Atherosclerosis (AS) is the underlying cause of cardiovascular events. Endothelial cell mitochondrial damage and pyroptosis are important factors contributing to AS. Changes in internal mitochondrial conformation and increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) lead to the disruption of mitochondrial energy metabolism, activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis, which in turn affect atherogenesis by impairing endothelial function. AMPK is a core player in the regulation of cellular metabolism, not only by regulating mitochondrial homeostasis but also by regulating cellular inflammatory responses. Sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate (STS), a water-soluble derivative of tanshinone IIA, has significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and roles in cardiovascular protection. Purpose: In this study, we investigated whether STS plays a protective role in AS by regulating endothelial cell mitochondrial function and pyroptosis through an AMPK-dependent mitochondrial pathway. Methods and Results: Male ApoE Conclusion: Our results suggest that STS enhances maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis and inhibits mitochondrial ROS overproduction via AMPK, thereby improving endothelial cell pyroptosis during AS.
