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

Isoproterenol (ISO), a chemically synthesized catecholamine, belongs to β-adrenoceptor agonist used to treat bradycardia. The β-adrenergic agonist is an essential regulator of myocardial metabolism and contractility; however, excessive exposure to ISO can initiate oxidative stress and inflammation. This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying ISO-induced cardiac remodeling, the protective efficacy of resveratrol (RSVR), and its liposomal formulation (L-RSVR) against such cardiac change. Wistar albino rats were evenly divided into 4 groups. Control group, ISO group received ISO (50 mg/kg, s.c.) twice a week for 2 weeks, and RSVR- and L-RSVR-treated groups in which rats received either RSVR or L-RSVR (20 mg/kg/day, p.o.) along with ISO for 2 weeks. ISO caused a significant elevation of the expression levels of BAX and MEF2 mRNA, S100A1 and cytochrome C proteins, as well as DNA fragmentation in cardiac tissue compared to the control group. Treatment with either RSVR or L-RSVR for 14 days significantly ameliorated the damage induced by ISO, as evidenced by the improvement of all measured parameters. The present study shows that L-RSVR provides better cardio-protection against ISO-induced cardiac injury in rats, most likely through modulation of cardiac S100A1 protein expression and inhibition of inflammation and apoptosis.
