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

Native volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying anion channels (VSOACs) play a significant role in cell volume homeostasis in mammalian cells. However, the molecular correlate of VSOACs has been elusive to identify. The short isoform of ClC-3 (sClC-3) is a member of the mammalian ClC gene family and has been proposed to be a molecular candidate for VSOACs in cardiac myocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells. To directly test this hypothesis, and assess the physiological role of ClC-3 in cardiac function, we generated a novel line of cardiac-specific inducible ClC-3 knock-out mice. These transgenic mice were maintained on a doxycycline diet to preserve ClC-3 expression; removal of doxycycline activates Cre recombinase to inactivate the Clcn3 gene. Echocardiography revealed dramatically reduced ejection fraction and fractional shortening, and severe signs of myocardial hypertrophy and heart failure in the knock-out mice at both 1.5 and 3 weeks off doxycycline. In mice off doxycycline, time-dependent inactivation of ClC-3 gene expression was confirmed in atrial and ventricular cells by qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Electrophysiological examination of native VSOACs in isolated atrial and ventricular myocytes 3 weeks off doxycycline revealed a complete elimination of the currents, whereas at 1.5 weeks, VSOAC current densities were significantly reduced, compared to age-matched control mice maintained on doxycycline. These results indicate that ClC-3 is a key component of native VSOACs in mammalian heart and plays a significant cardioprotective role against cardiac hypertrophy and failure.
