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

p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are serine/threonine specific protein kinases that respond to cellular stress and regulate a broad range of cellular activities. There are four major isoforms of p38 MAPK: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. To date, the prominent isoform in heart has been thought to be p38alpha. We examined the expression of each p38 isoform at both the mRNA and protein level in murine heart. mRNA for all four p38 isoforms was detected. p38gamma and p38delta were expressed at protein levels comparable to p38alpha and 38beta, respectively. In the early phase of pressure-overload hypertrophy (1-7 days after constriction of the transverse aorta), the abundance of p38beta, p38gamma and p38delta mRNA increased; however, no corresponding changes were detected at the protein level. Confocal immunofluorescence studies revealed p38alpha and p38gamma in both the cytoplasm and nucleus. In the established phase of hypertrophy induced by chronic pressure overload (7-28 days after constriction of the transverse aorta), p38gamma immunoreactivity accumulated in the nucleus whereas the distribution of p38alpha remained unaffected. Hence, both p38alpha and p38gamma are prominent p38 isoforms in heart and p38gamma may play a role in mediating the changes in gene expression associated with cardiac remodeling during pressure-overload hypertrophy.
