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

Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is one of the most prevalent pathogens of viral myocarditis, which may persist chronically and progress to dilated cardiomyopathy. We previously demonstrated a critical role of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) in the regulation of coxsackievirus replication in mouse cardiomyocytes. In the present study, we extend our interest to an in vivo animal model to examine the regulation and role of the UPS in CVB3-induced murine myocarditis. Male myocarditis-susceptible A/J mice at age 4-5 wk were randomized to four groups: sham infection + vehicle (n = 10), sham infection + proteasome inhibitor (n = 10), virus + vehicle (n = 20), and virus + proteasome inhibitor (n = 20). Proteasome inhibitor was administered subcutaneously once a day for 3 days. Mice were killed on day 9 after infection, and infected hearts were harvested for Western blot analysis, plaque assay, immunostaining, and histological examination. We showed that CVB3 infection led to an accumulation of ubiquitin conjugates at 9 days after infection. Protein levels of ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1A/E1B, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBCH7, as well as deubiquitinating enzyme UCHL1 were markedly increased in CVB3-infected mice compared with sham infection. However, there was no significant alteration in proteasome activities at 9 days after infection. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that increased expression of E1A/E1B was mainly localized to virus-damaged cells. Finally, we showed that application of a proteasome inhibitor significantly reduced CVB3-induced myocardial damage. This observation reveals a novel mechanism of coxsackieviral pathogenesis, and suggests that the UPS may be an attractive therapeutic target against coxsackievirus-induced myocarditis.
