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

backgroundCarnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT1) is a rate-limiting step of mitochondrial β-oxidation by controlling the mitochondrial uptake of long-chain acyl-CoAs. The muscle isoform, CPT1b, is the predominant isoform expressed in the heart. It has been suggested that inhibiting CPT1 activity by specific CPT1 inhibitors exerts protective effects against cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. However, clinical and animal studies have shown mixed results, thereby creating concerns about the safety of this class of drugs. Preclinical studies using genetically modified animal models should provide a better understanding of targeting CPT1 to evaluate it as a safe and effective therapeutic approach. METHODS AND

resultsHeterozygous CPT1b knockout (CPT1b(+/-)) mice were subjected to transverse aorta constriction-induced pressure overload. These mice showed overtly normal cardiac structure/function under the basal condition. Under a severe pressure-overload condition induced by 2 weeks of transverse aorta constriction, CPT1b(+/-) mice were susceptible to premature death with congestive heart failure. Under a milder pressure-overload condition, CPT1b(+/-) mice exhibited exacerbated cardiac hypertrophy and remodeling compared with wild-type littermates. There were more pronounced impairments of cardiac contraction with greater eccentric cardiac hypertrophy in CPT1b(+/-) mice than in control mice. Moreover, the CPT1b(+/-) heart exhibited exacerbated mitochondrial abnormalities and myocardial lipid accumulation with elevated triglycerides and ceramide content, leading to greater cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

conclusionsCPT1b deficiency can cause lipotoxicity in the heart under pathological stress, leading to exacerbation of cardiac pathology. Therefore, caution should be exercised in the clinical use of CPT1 inhibitors.
