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

Heart failure (HF) is devastating disease with poor prognosis. Elevated sympathetic nervous system activity and outflow, leading to pathologic attenuation and desensitization of β-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs) signaling and responsiveness, are salient characteristic of HF progression. These pathologic effects on β-AR signaling and HF progression occur in part due to Gβγ-mediated signaling, including recruitment of receptor desensitizing kinases such as G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) kinase 2 (GRK2) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), which subsequently phosphorylate agonist occupied GPCRs. Additionally, chronic GPCR signaling signals chronically dissociated Gβγ subunits to interact with multiple effector molecules that activate various signaling cascades involved in HF pathophysiology. Importantly, targeting Gβγ signaling with large peptide inhibitors has proven a promising therapeutic paradigm in the treatment of HF. We recently described an approach to identify small molecule Gβγ inhibitors that selectively block particular Gβγ functions by specifically targeting a Gβγ protein-protein interaction "hot spot." Here we describe their effects on Gβγ downstream signaling pathways, including their role in HF pathophysiology. We suggest a promising therapeutic role for small molecule inhibition of pathologic Gβγ signaling in the treatment of HF. This article is part of a special issue entitled "Key Signaling Molecules in Hypertrophy and Heart Failure."
