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

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the most common genetic cardiac disorder, is frequently caused by mutations in MYBPC3, encoding cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyBP-C). Moreover, HCM is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young athletes. Interestingly, SCD is more likely to occur in male than in female athletes. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to sex-specific differences are poorly understood. Therefore, we studied the effect of sex and exercise on functional properties of the heart and sarcomeres in mice carrying a MYBPC3 point mutation (G > A transition in exon 6) associated with human HCM. Echocardiography followed by isometric force measurements in left ventricular (LV) membrane-permeabilized cardiomyocytes was performed in wild-type (WT) and heterozygous (HET) knock-in mice of both sex (N = 5 per group) in sedentary mice and mice that underwent an 8-week voluntary wheel-running exercise protocol. Isometric force measurements in single cardiomyocytes revealed a lower maximal force generation (F max) of the sarcomeres in male sedentary HET (13.0 ± 1.1 kN/m(2)) compared to corresponding WT (18.4 ± 1.8 kN/m(2)) male mice. Exercise induced a higher F max in HET male mice, while it did not affect HET females. Interestingly, a low cardiac troponin I bisphosphorylation, increased myofilament Ca(2+)-sensitivity, and LV hypertrophy were particularly observed in exercised HET females. In conclusion, in sedentary animals, contractile differences are seen between male and female HET mice. Male and female HET hearts adapted differently to a voluntary exercise protocol, indicating that physiological stimuli elicit a sexually dimorphic cardiac response in heterozygous MYBPC3-targeted knock-in mice.
