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

Neuronostatin, a recently discovered peptide encoded by somatostatin gene, is involved in regulation of neuronal function, blood pressure, food intake, and drinking behavior. However, the biological effects of neuronostatin on cardiac myocytes are not known, and the intracellular signaling mechanisms induced by neuronostatin remain unidentified. We analyzed the effect of neuronostatin in isolated perfused rat hearts and in cultured primary cardiomyocytes. Neuronostatin infusion alone had no effect on left ventricular (LV) contractile function or on isoprenaline- or preload-induced increase in cardiac contractility. However, infusion of neuronostatin significantly decreased the positive inotropic response to endothelin-1 (ET-1). This was associated with an increase in phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Treatment of both neonatal and adult cardiomyocytes with neuronostatin resulted in reduced cardiomyocyte viability. Inhibition of JNK further increased the neuronostatin-induced cell death. We conclude that neuronostatin regulates cardiac contractile function and cardiomyocyte survival. Receptors for neuronostatin need to be identified to further characterize the biological functions of the peptide.
