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

Heart failure (HF) has a serious impact on patients' lives and health. Gut microbiota plays an important role in the development of HF. Xinshuaining (XSN) preparation has a therapeutic effect on the HF. However, the mechanism of action of XSN in HF is still unclear. Our study aimed to explore the possible function and mechanism of XSN on HF induced by doxorubicin (DOX) in rats. DOX-induced HF rat models were prepared, grouped and treated. The ultrasound indexes of rat heart were measured before sampling, and the indexes of cardiac pathology, fibrosis degree, gut microbiota and metabolites were detected by ELISA, HE staining, Masson staining, immunohistochemistry, 16SrDNA sequencing, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) after sampling. XSN can significantly improve the cardiac function of HF rats, including increasing LVEF, LVFS, decreasing LVESD, LVESV, LVEDV levels, and at the same time, XSN can also reduce the heart weight index, reduce the cardiac histopathological damage and fibrosis. In addition, XSN can regulate the abundance and function of gut microbiota, inhibit the level of TMAO, and regulate plasma metabolites in HF rats. In conclusions, XSN improves cardiac function and delays the process of cardiac fibrosis in HF rats, and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of gut microbiota and metabolites.
