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

Autosomal Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy and related disorders with dilated cardiomyopathy and variable skeletal muscle involvement are caused by mutations in LMNA, which encodes A-type nuclear lamins. How alterations in A-type lamins, intermediate filament proteins of the nuclear envelope expressed in most differentiated somatic cells, cause cardiomyopathy is only poorly understood. We demonstrated previously abnormal activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) branch of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade in hearts of Lmna H222P 'knock in' mice, a model of autosomal Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. We therefore treated Lmna(H222P/H222P) mice that develop cardiomyopathy with PD98059, an inhibitor of ERK activation. Systemic treatment of Lmna(H222P/H222P) mice with PD98059 inhibited ERK phosphorylation and blocked the activation of downstream genes in heart. It also blocked increased expression of RNAs encoding natriuretic peptide precursors and proteins involved in sarcomere organization that occurred in placebo-treated mice. Histological analysis and echocardiography demonstrated that treatment with PD98059 delayed the development of left ventricular dilatation. PD98059-treated Lmna(H222P/H222P) mice had normal cardiac ejection fractions assessed by echocardiography when placebo-treated mice had a 30% decrease. These results emphasize the role of ERK activation in the development of cardiomyopathy caused by LMNA mutations. They further provide proof of principle for ERK inhibition as a therapeutic option to prevent or delay heart failure in humans with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy and related disorders caused by mutations in LMNA.
