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
backgroundMineralocorticoid receptor (MR) induces cardiac inflammation cooperatively with nuclear factor-κB and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3); MR blockers exert anti-inflammatory effects. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of esaxerenone, a novel MR blocker, in experimental myocardial infarction (MI) and its underlying mechanisms. METHODS AND
resultsMale C57BL/6J mice subjected to ligation of the left anterior descending artery were randomly assigned to either the vehicle or esaxerenone group. Esaxerenone was provided with a regular chow diet. The mice were euthanized at either 4 or 15 days after MI. Cardiac function, fibrosis, and inflammation were evaluated. Esaxerenone significantly improved cardiac function and attenuated cardiac fibrosis at 15 days after MI independently of its antihypertensive effect. Inflammatory cell infiltration, inflammatory-related gene expression, and elevated serum interleukin-6 levels at 4 days after MI were significantly attenuated by esaxerenone. In vitro experiments using mouse macrophage-like cell line RAW264.7 cells demonstrated that esaxerenone- and spironolactone-attenuated lipopolysaccharide-induced interleukin-6 expression without altering the posttranslational modification and nuclear translocation of p65 and STAT3. Immunoprecipitation assays revealed that MR interacted with both p65 and STAT3 and enhanced the p65-STAT3 interaction, leading to a subsequent increase in interleukin-6 promoter activity, which was reversed by esaxerenone.
conclusionsEsaxerenone ameliorated postinfarct remodeling in experimental MI through its anti-inflammatory properties exerted by modulating the transcriptional activity of the MR-p65-STAT3 complex. These results suggest that the MR-p65-STAT3 complex can be a novel therapeutic target for treating MI.
