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

backgroundThe axolotl is a prominent model organism of heart regeneration due to its ability to anatomically and functionally repair the heart after an injury that mimics human myocardial infarction. In humans, such an injury leads to permanent scarring. Cardiac regeneration has been linked to metabolism and the oxygenation state, but so far, these factors remain to be detailed in the axolotl model. In this descriptive study, we have investigated metabolic changes that occurred during cardiac regeneration in the axolotl.

resultsWe describe systemic and local cardiac metabolic changes after injury involving an early upregulation of glucose uptake and nucleotide biosynthesis followed by a later increase in acetate uptake. We detect several promising factors and metabolites for future studies and show that, unlike other popular animal models capable of intrinsic regeneration, the axolotl maintains its cardiac regenerative ability under hyperoxic conditions.

conclusionsAxolotls undergo dynamic metabolic changes during the process of heart regeneration and display a robust reparative response to cardiac cryo-injury, which is unaffected by hyperoxia.
