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

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a significant contributor to global morbidity and mortality. Allicin exhibits promising therapeutic potential in AMI as a primary bioactive component derived from garlic; however, its underlying mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated. Methods: Our study induced AMI in mice by ligating the left coronary artery, and administered allicin orally for 28 days. The cardioprotective effects of allicin treatment were comprehensively assessed using echocardiography, histopathological examinations, intestinal barrier function, and serum inflammatory factors. The potential mechanisms of allicin were elucidated through analysis of metagenomics and serum metabolomics. Network pharmacology (NP) was used to further investigate and validate the possible molecular mechanisms of allicin. Results: Our findings revealed allicin's capacity to ameliorate cardiac impairments, improve intestinal barrier integrity, and reduce serum IL-18 and IL-1β levels after AMI. Further analysis demonstrated that the administration of allicin has the potential to ameliorate intestinal flora disorder following AMI by modulating the abundance of beneficial bacteria, such as Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that allicin alleviated myocardial injury and reduced inflammatory response by inhibiting the NF-κB-mediated NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD pathway while remodeling microbiota disturbance, improving serum metabolic disorder, and enhancing the intestinal barrier. These research findings offer a novel perspective on the potential therapeutic value of allicin as an adjunctive dietary supplement to conventional treatments for AMI.
