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

Clinical and experimental evidence has recently accumulated about the importance of alterations of Na(+) channel (NaCh) function and slow myocardial conduction for arrhythmias in infarcted and failing hearts (i.e., heart failure, HF). The present study evaluated the molecular mechanisms of local alterations in the expression of NaCh subunits which underlie Na(+) current (I(Na)) density decrease in HF. HF was induced in five dogs by sequential coronary microembolization and developed approximately 3 months after the last embolization (left ventricle (LV), ejection fraction = 27 +/- 7%). Five normal dogs served as a control group. Ventricular cardiomyocytes were isolated enzymatically from LV mid-myocardium and I(Na) was measured by whole-cell patch-clamp. The mRNA encoding the cardiac-specific NaCh alpha-subunit Na(v)1.5, and one of its auxiliary subunits beta 1 (NaCh beta 1), were analyzed by competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Protein levels of Na(v)1.5, NaCh beta 1 and NaCh beta 2 were evaluated by western blotting. The maximum density of I(Na)/C(m) was decreased in HF (n = 5) compared to control hearts (33.2 +/- 4.4 vs. 50.0 +/- 4.9 pA/pF, mean +/- S.E.M., n = 5, P < 0.05). The steady-state inactivation and activation of I(Na) remained unchanged in HF compared to control hearts. The levels of mRNA encoding Na(v)1.5, and NaCh beta 1 were unaltered in FH. However, Na(v)1.5 protein expression was reduced about 30% in HF, while NaCh beta 1 and NaCh beta 2 protein were unchanged. We conclude that experimental HF in dogs results in post-transcriptional changes in cardiac NaCh alpha-subunit expression.
