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

Sirtuins are emerging as key regulators of many cellular functions including metabolism, cell growth, apoptosis, and genetic control of ageing. In mammals there are seven sirtuin analogues, SIRT1 to SIRT7. Among them SIRT3 is unique because this is the only analogue whose increased expression has been found to be associated with extended lifespan of humans. SIRT3 levels have been shown to be elevated by exercise and calorie restriction. Although the role of SIRT3 in cell biology is only beginning to be understood, initial studies have shown that SIRT3 plays a major role in free fatty acid oxidation and maintenance of cellular ATP levels. In the heart SIRT3 has been found to block development of cardiac hypertrophy and protect cardiomyocytes from oxidative stress-mediated cell death. Similarly, SIRT3 has been reported to have tumour-suppressive characteristics. In this article, we review the known effects of SIRT3 in different tissues and relate them to the protection of cardiomyocytes under stress.
