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

Ischemic heart disease is a leading cause of death, and there is considerable imperative to identify effective therapeutic interventions. Cardiomyocyte Ca(2+) overload is a major cause of ischemia and reperfusion injury, initiating a cascade of events culminating in cardiomyocyte death, myocardial dysfunction, and occurrence of lethal arrhythmias. Responsive to fluctuations in intracellular Ca(2+), Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) has emerged as an enticing therapeutic target in the management of ischemic heart injury. CaMKII is activated early in ischemia and to a greater extent in the first few minutes of reperfusion, at a time when reperfusion arrhythmias are particularly prominent. CaMKII phosphorylates and upregulates many of the key proteins involved in intracellular Na(+) and Ca(2+) loading in ischemia and reperfusion. Experimentally, selective inhibition of CaMKII activity reduces cardiomyocyte death and arrhythmic incidence post-ischemia. New evidence is emerging that CaMKII actions in ischemia and reperfusion involve specific splice variant targeted actions, selective and localized post-translational modifications, and organelle-directed substrate interactions. A more complete mechanistic understanding of CaMKII mode of action in ischemia and reperfusion is required to optimize intervention opportunities. This review summarizes the current experimentally derived understanding of CaMKII participation in mediating the pathophysiology of the heart in ischemia and in reperfusion, and highlights priority future research directions.
