Hydrogen therapy as a potential therapeutic intervention in heart disease: from the past evidence to future application.
Review in Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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.
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
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Excessive oxidative stress and inflammation play an important role in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease. Molecular hydrogen, a small colorless and odorless molecule, is considered harmless in daily life when its concentration is below 4% at room temperature. Owing to the small size of the hydrogen molecule, it can easily penetrate the cell membrane and can be metabolized without residue. Molecular hydrogen can be administered through inhalation, the drinking of hydrogen-rich water, injection with hydrogen-rich-saline, and bathing of an organ in a preservative solution. The utilization of molecular hydrogen has shown many benefits and can be effective for a wide range of purposes, from prevention to the treatment of diseases. It has been demonstrated that molecular hydrogen exerts antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic effects, leading to cardioprotective benefits. Nevertheless, the exact intracellular mechanisms of its action are still unclear. In this review, evidence of the potential benefits of hydrogen molecules obtained from in vitro, in vivo, and clinical investigations are comprehensively summarized and discussed with a focus on the cardiovascular aspects. The potential mechanisms involved in the protective effects of molecular hydrogen are also presented. These findings suggest that molecular hydrogen could be used as a novel treatment in various cardiovascular pathologies, including ischemic-reperfusion injury, cardiac injury from radiation, atherosclerosis, chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, and cardiac hypertrophy.
