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

Cardiac hypertrophy, whether pathological or physiological, induces a variety of additional morphological and physiological changes in the heart, including altered contractility and hemodynamics. Events exacerbating these changes are documented during later stages of hypertrophy (usually termed pathological hypertrophy). Few studies document the morphological and physiological changes during early physiological hypertrophy. We define acute cardiac remodeling events in response to transverse aortic constriction (TAC), including temporal changes in hypertrophy, collagen deposition, capillary density, and the cell populations responsible for these changes. Cardiac hypertrophy induced by TAC in mice was detected 2 days after surgery (as measured by heart weight, myocyte width, and wall thickness) and peaked by day 7. Picrosirius staining revealed increased collagen deposition 7 days after TAC; immunostaining and flow cytometry indicated a concurrent increase in fibroblasts. The findings correlated with angiogenesis in TAC hearts; a decrease in capillary density was observed at day 2, with recovery to sham-surgery levels by day 7. Increased pericyte levels, which were observed 2 days after TAC, may mediate this angiogenic transition. Gene expression suggests a coordinated response in growth, extracellular matrix, and angiogenic factors to mediate the observed morphological changes. Our data demonstrate that morphological changes in response to cardiovascular injury occur rapidly, and the present findings allow correlation of specific events that facilitate these changes.
