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

Psoriasis has been considered a systemic immune-mediated disease that can affect function of the heart. However, certain herbal therapy approaches may nullify side effects of psoriasis on the heart. The aim of this study was to investigate the cardioprotective effects of Galium verum extract administration of the heart of psoriatic rats. The study included 24 Wistar albino male rats, divided into 4 groups: control (CTRL), G.verum (GV), psoriasis (PSORI), and psoriasis with G.verum (PSORI + GV). Seven-day topical application of 5% imiquimod cream was used for induction of psoriasis. After induction, animals were received 125 mg/kg G.verum extract for 4 weeks. Isolated hearts were perfused on the Langendorff apparatus and measured: dp/dt max/min, SLVP, DLVP, HR and coronary flow. The oxidative stress biomarkers: TBARS, NO2, O2- and H2O2 were measured in coronary venous effluent. Isolated hearts were fixed and stained with H/E and Picro-sirius red staining. Psoriasis decreased cardiac contractility and relaxation and increased SLVP and DLVP at all perfusion pressure. Treatment with G.verum in psoriasis rats improved contractility and relaxation of the heart and rise SLVP and DLVP. In PSORI + GV group, the decrease of oxidative stress biomarkers were observed in comparison to PSORI group. Diameter and cross-section area of cardiomyocytes were increased in PSORI and PSORI + GV groups compared to the control. Collagen content was increased in PSORI group by 283% and in PSORI + GV group by 188% compared to control. Treatment with G.verum extract exhibited a positive effect on cardiac function, morphometry and redox state of heart of psoriatic rats.
