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

Pressure and volume overload induce hypertrophic growth of postnatal cardiomyocytes and genetic reprogramming characterized by reactivation of a subset of fetal genes. Despite intense efforts, the nuclear effectors of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy remain incompletely defined. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) plays an important role in cardiomyocyte growth and is involved in mediating the neurohormonal effects of mechanical stress. Here, we show that the phenylephrine-induced complex-1 (PEX1), also known as zinc finger transcription factor ZFP260, is essential for cardiomyocyte response to ET-1 as evidenced in cardiomyocytes with PEX1 knockdown. We found that ET-1 enhances PEX1 transcriptional activity via a PKC-dependent pathway which phosphorylates the protein and further potentiates its synergy with GATA4. Consistent with a role for PEX1 in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, overexpression of PEX1 is sufficient to induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, transgenic mice with inducible PEX1 expression in the adult heart develop cardiac hypertrophy with preserved heart function. Together, the results identify a novel nuclear effector of ET-1 signaling and suggest that PEX1 may be a regulator of the early stages of cardiac hypertrophy.
