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

In the diabetic heart, chronic activation of the PPARalpha pathway drives excessive fatty acid (FA) oxidation, lipid accumulation, reduced glucose utilization, and cardiomyopathy. The related nuclear receptor, PPARbeta/delta, is also highly expressed in the heart, yet its function has not been fully delineated. To address its role in myocardial metabolism, we generated transgenic mice with cardiac-specific expression of PPARbeta/delta, driven by the myosin heavy chain (MHC-PPARbeta/delta mice). In striking contrast to MHC-PPARalpha mice, MHC-PPARbeta/delta mice had increased myocardial glucose utilization, did not accumulate myocardial lipid, and had normal cardiac function. Consistent with these observed metabolic phenotypes, we found that expression of genes involved in cellular FA transport were activated by PPARalpha but not by PPARbeta/delta. Conversely, cardiac glucose transport and glycolytic genes were activated in MHC-PPARbeta/delta mice, but repressed in MHC-PPARalpha mice. In reporter assays, we showed that PPARbeta/delta and PPARalpha exerted differential transcriptional control of the GLUT4 promoter, which may explain the observed isotype-specific effects on glucose uptake. Furthermore, myocardial injury due to ischemia/reperfusion injury was significantly reduced in the MHC-PPARbeta/delta mice compared with control or MHC-PPARalpha mice, consistent with an increased capacity for myocardial glucose utilization. These results demonstrate that PPARalpha and PPARbeta/delta drive distinct cardiac metabolic regulatory programs and identify PPARbeta/delta as a potential target for metabolic modulation therapy aimed at cardiac dysfunction caused by diabetes and ischemia.
