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

Alterations in trans-sarcolemmal and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) fluxes may contribute to impaired cardiomyocyte contraction and relaxation in heart failure. We investigated the mechanisms underlying heart failure progression in mice with conditional, cardiomyocyte-specific excision of the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) gene. At 4 weeks following gene deletion (4-week KO) cardiac function remained near normal values. However, end-stage heart failure developed by 7 weeks (7-week KO) as systolic and diastolic performance declined. Contractions in isolated myocytes were reduced between 4- and 7-week KO, and relaxation was slowed. Ca(2+) transients were similarly altered. Reduction in Ca(2+) transient magnitude resulted from complete loss of SR Ca(2+) release between 4- and 7-week KO, due to loss of a small remaining pool of SERCA2. Declining SR Ca(2+) release was partly offset by increased L-type Ca(2+) current, which was facilitated by AP prolongation in 7-week KO. Ca(2+) entry via reverse-mode Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchange (NCX) was also enhanced. Up-regulation of NCX and plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase increased Ca(2+) extrusion rates in 4-week KO. Diastolic dysfunction in 7-week KO resulted from further SERCA2 loss, but also impaired NCX-mediated Ca(2+) extrusion following Na(+) accumulation. Reduced Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity contributed to the Na(+) gain. Normalizing [Na(+)] by dialysis increased the Ca(2+) decline rate in 7-week KO beyond 4-week values. Thus, while SERCA2 loss promotes both systolic and diastolic dysfunction, Na(+) accumulation additionally impairs relaxation in this model. Our observations indicate that if cytosolic Na(+) gain is prevented, up-regulated Ca(2+) extrusion mechanisms can maintain near-normal diastolic function in the absence of SERCA2.
