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

Left ventricular (LV) volume overload (VO) causes eccentric remodeling with inflammatory cell infiltration and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, for which there is currently no proven therapy. To uncover new pathways that connect inflammation and ECM homeostasis with cellular dysfunction, we determined the cardiac transciptome in subacute, compensated, and decompensated stages based on in vivo hemodynamics and echocardiography in the rat with aortocaval fistula (ACF). LV dilatation at 5 wk was associated with a normal LV end-diastolic dimension-to-posterior wall thickness ratio (LVEDD/PWT; compensated), whereas the early 2-wk (subacute) and late 15-wk (decompensated) ACF groups had significant increases in LVEDD/PWT. Subacute and decompensated stages had a significant upregulation of genes related to inflammation, the ECM, the cell cycle, and apoptosis. These changes were accompanied by neutrophil and macrophage infiltration, nonmyocyte apoptosis, and interstitial collagen loss. At 15 wk, there was a 40-fold increase in the matricellular protein periostin, which inhibits connections between collagen and cells, thereby potentially mediating a side-to-side slippage of cardiomyocytes and LV dilatation. The majority of downregulated genes was composed of mitochondrial enzymes whose suppression progressed from 5 to 15 wk concomitant with LV dilatation and systolic heart failure. The profound decrease in gene expression related to fatty acid, amino acid, and glucose metabolism was associated with the downregulation of peroxisome proliferator associated receptor (PPAR)-α-related and bioenergetic-related genes at 15 wk. In VO, an early phase of inflammation subsides at 5 wk but reappears at 15 wk with marked periostin production along with the suppression of genes related to PPAR-α and energy metabolism.
