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

Growth hormone (GH) has been reported to be useful to treat heart failure. To elucidate whether GH has direct beneficial effects on the heart, we examined effects of GH on oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in cardiac myocytes. TUNEL staining and DNA ladder analysis revealed that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was significantly suppressed by the pretreatment with GH. GH strongly activated extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) in cardiac myocytes and the cardioprotective effect of GH was abolished by inhibition of ERKs. Overexpression of dominant negative mutant Ras suppressed GH-stimulated ERK activation. Overexpression of Csk that inactivates Src family tyrosine kinases also inhibited ERK activation evoked by GH. A broad-spectrum inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), genistein, strongly suppressed GH-induced ERK activation and the cardioprotective effect of GH against apoptotic cell death. GH induced tyrosine phosphorylation of EGF receptor and JAK2 in cardiac myocytes, and an EGF receptor inhibitor tyrphostin AG1478 and a JAK2 inhibitor tyrphostin B42 completely inhibited GH-induced ERK activation. Tyrphostin B42 also suppressed the phosphorylation of EGF receptor stimulated by GH. These findings suggest that GH has a direct protective effect on cardiac myocytes against apoptosis and that the effect of GH is attributed at least in part to the activation of ERKs through Ras and PTKs including JAK2, Src, and EGF receptor tyrosine kinase.
