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 injury (MIRI) remains a major unresolved problem in cardiovascular medicine. It commonly occurs in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients following reperfusion therapy or cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-assisted cardiac surgery. Despite the clinical necessity of restoring blood flow, reperfusion itself paradoxically exacerbates myocardial injury. The resulting therapeutic dilemma underscores the need for innovative cardioprotective strategies. Recent studies suggest that protein lactylation (Kla), a newly identified post-translational modification (PTM) derived from lactate metabolism, plays a crucial role in cardiomyocytes by regulating metabolic adaptation, injury repair, stress responses, cell death, and cardiac remodeling. However, there is still no comprehensive synthesis of the role of Kla in MIRI. In this review, we critically examine the emerging evidence linking Kla to the pathogenesis of MIRI and further discuss potential therapeutic strategies targeting this epigenetic mechanism to alleviate reperfusion-induced myocardial injury.
