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

The R145G amino acid exchange in the inhibitory subunit (cTnI) of cardiac troponin, which regulates muscle contraction, is related to familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Information on its impact on contractility of adult cardiomyocytes is scarce. We studied shortening of adult rat cardiomyocytes before and during ss-adrenergic stimulation using adenovirus-driven expression of human cTnI-wild type (wt) and cTnI-R145G. Baseline sarcomere shortening was significantly decreased by cTnI-R145G expression. Upon ss-adrenergic stimulation using isoproterenol (ISO), nearly identical amplitudes of shortening were obtained with cells expressing cTnI-R145G and control cardiomyocytes (native and cTnI-wt). However, rates of shortening and relengthening were depressed in cTnI-R145G-expressing cells but were comparable to those of control cells upon addition of forskolin or ISO and ICI118,551. This indicates that cTnI-R145G expression influences the response to ss-adrenergic stimulation dependent on the receptor subtype.
