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

Bufalin, which is isolated from toad venom, exerts positive effects on hearts under pathological circumstance. We aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of bufalin on myocardial I/R injury. In vivo, bufalin ameliorated myocardial I/R injury, which characteristics with better ejection function, decreased infarct size and less apoptosis. The levels of pyroptotic proteins were increased in I/R-treated macrophages and inflammatory cytokines expressed more in I/R-induced mouse, which could be attenuated by bufalin. Bufalin also reduced H/R-treated macrophage pyroptosis in vitro. Autophagic flux blockage and ROS accumulation were reduced by bufalin in impaired macrophages. Overexpression of p62 abrogated the anti-proptosis and anti-oxidative effects of bufalin. The levels of apoptosis related proteins were changed and TUNEL-positive ratio was raised in cardiomyocytes that received conditioned medium treatment with H/R-treated macrophages, while bufalin pretreatment could reduce apoptosis. These findings indicate that bufalin may attenuate myocardial I/R injury by suppressing macrophage pyroptosis via P62 pathway.
