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

Impaired function of the phospholamban (PLB)-regulated sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump (SERCA2a) contributes to cardiac dysfunction in heart failure (HF). PLB downregulation may increase SERCA2a activity and improve cardiac function. Small interfering (si)RNAs mediate efficient gene silencing by RNA interference (RNAi). However, their use for in vivo gene therapy is limited by siRNA instability in plasma and tissues, and by low siRNA transfer rates into target cells. To address these problems, we developed an adenoviral vector (AdV) transcribing short hairpin (sh)RNAs against rat PLB and evaluated its potential to silence the PLB gene and to modulate SERCA2a-mediated Ca(2+) sequestration in primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (PNCMs). Over a period of 13 days, vector transduction resulted in stable > 99.9% ablation of PLB-mRNA at a multiplicity of infection of 100. PLB protein gradually decreased until day 7 (7+/-2% left), whereas SERCA, Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1), calsequestrin and troponin I protein remained unchanged. PLB silencing was associated with a marked increase in ATP-dependent oxalate-supported Ca(2+) uptake at 0.34 microM of free Ca(2+), and rapid loss of responsiveness to protein kinase A-dependent stimulation of Ca(2+) uptake was maintained until day 7. In summary, these results indicate that AdV-derived PLB-shRNA mediates highly efficient, specific and stable PLB gene silencing and modulation of active Ca(2+) sequestration in PNCMs. The availability of the new vector now enables employment of RNAi for the treatment of HF in vivo.
