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

Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury affects heart attack outcomes. Endothelial cells dysfunction immediately after MI/R, but the key molecules and how to block them remain unclear. We combined single-cell atlas analysis, AI simulation, and experimental single-cell RNA sequencing data from mouse MI/R; we did quality control, cell annotation, hdWGCNA, and differential gene screening to identify endothelial genes. We constructed a protein network with STRING, predicted structure with AlphaFold3, and used AutoDock for molecular docking to find potential drugs. Virtual knockout simulations were used to check gene deletion effects. The compound andrographolide (AG) was tested in in vitro and in vivo MI/R models by measuring cell viability, inflammation, pathway activity, infarct size, and cardiac function. Single-cell analysis showed that S100 calcium binding protein A8 (S100A8) is an important element in vascular inflammation. It promotes inflammation by interacting indirectly with Cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14). Molecular docking showed that AG binds stably to S100A8. In vitro, AG reduced endothelial injury and blocked the IL-17 pathway. In vivo, AG reduced infarct size, improved cardiac function, and lowered S100A8 and IL-17 pathway proteins. Using single-cell analysis, AI, and experiments, we showed that S100A8 is related to MI/R injury. Andrographolide protects microvasculature via the S100A8 pathway, offering a promising treatment approach and new insights into heart injury mechanisms.
