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

Mutations in lamin A/C result in a range of tissue-specific disorders collectively called laminopathies. Of these, Emery-Dreifuss and Limb-Girdle muscular dystrophy 1B mainly affect striated muscle. A useful model for understanding both laminopathies and lamin A/C function is the Lmna(-/-) mouse. We found that skeletal muscle growth and muscle satellite (stem) cell proliferation were both reduced in Lmna(-/-) mice. Lamins A and C associate with lamina-associated polypeptide 2 alpha (Lap2α) and the retinoblastoma gene product, pRb, to regulate cell cycle exit. We found Lap2α to be upregulated in Lmna(-/-) myoblasts (MBs). To specifically test the contribution of elevated Lap2α to the phenotype of Lmna(-/-) mice, we generated Lmna(-/-)Lap2α(-/-) mice. Lifespan and body mass were increased in Lmna(-/-)Lap2α(-/-) mice compared with Lmna(-/-). Importantly, the satellite cell proliferation defect was rescued, resulting in improved myogenesis. Lmna(-/-) MBs also exhibited increased levels of Smad2/3, which were abnormally distributed in the cell and failed to respond to TGFβ1 stimulation as in control cells. However, using SIS3 to inhibit signaling via Smad3 reduced cell death and augmented MB fusion. Together, our results show that perturbed Lap2α/pRb and Smad2/3 signaling are important regulatory pathways mediating defective muscle growth in Lmna(-/-) mice, and that inhibition of either pathway alone or in combination can ameliorate this deleterious phenotype.
