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

Hypoxia and doxorubicin can cause cardiotoxicity and loss of myocardial function. These effects are due, in part, to an induction of apoptosis. Herein we identify the apoptotic pathways activated in H9c2 cells in response to hypoxia (O(2)/N(2)/CO(2), 0.5:94.5:5) and doxorubicin (0.5 muM). Although the apoptosis induced was accompanied by induction of Fas and Fas ligand, the death receptor pathway was not critical for caspase activation by either stimulus. Hypoxia induced the expression of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress mediators and processed ER-resident pro-caspase-12 whereas doxorubicin did not induce an ER stress response. Most importantly, both stimuli converged on mitochondria to promote apoptosis. Accumulation of cytochrome c in the cytosol coincided with the processing of pro-caspase-9 and -3. Increasing the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-x(L), either by dexamethasone or adenovirus-mediated transduction, protected H9c2 cells from doxorubicin- and hypoxia-induced apoptosis. Bcl-x(L) attenuated mitochondrial cytochrome crelease and reduced downstream pro-caspase processing and apoptosis. These data demonstrate that two distinct cardiomyocyte-damaging stimuli converge on mitochondria thus presenting this organelle as a potentially important therapeutic target for anti-apoptotic strategies for cardiovascular diseases.
