Sex-dependent, zinc-induced dephosphorylation of phospholamban by tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase in the cardiac sarcomere.
Article in American journal of physiology. Heart and circulatory physiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
We have previously reported that Zn(2+) infused into the coronary arteries of isolated rat hearts leads to the potent dephosphorylation of phospholamban (PLB) as well as a noticeable but less potent dephosphorylation of the ryanodine receptor 2. We hypothesized in the present study that a Zn(2+)-activated phosphatase is located in the vicinity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) where PLB and ryanodine receptor 2 reside. We report here the novel finding of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), a zinc-dependent enzyme, localized to the SR in the cardiac sarcomere of mouse myocardium. TNAP activity was enhanced by injection of Zn acetate into a tail vein before harvesting the heart and imaged using electron microscopy of electron dense deposits indicative of the hydrolysis of exogenous β-glycerophosphate. TNAP activity was observed localized to the ends of the Z-line corresponding to SR and was qualitatively more visible in myocardium of males compared with females. Correspondingly, PLB phosphorylation status was potently reduced in myocardium of males injected with Zn acetate, whereas there was no apparent effect of Zn acetate injection on PLB phosphorylation in females. Surprisingly, Western blot analysis of TNAP content suggested a significantly lower TNAP content in males compared with females. These data suggest that TNAP plays a role in governing the phosphorylation status of calcium handling proteins in the SR. Furthermore, the content and activity of TNAP are differentially regulated between the sexes and thus may account for some sex differences in cardiopathologies associated with calcium handling.
