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

Enhanced cardiac contractile function with increased sarcomere length (SL) is, in part, mediated by a decrease in the radial distance between myosin heads and actin. The radial disposition of myosin heads relative to actin is modulated by cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C), suggesting that cMyBP-C contributes to the length-dependent activation (LDA) in the myocardium. However, the precise roles of cMyBP-C in modulating cardiac LDA are unclear. To determine the impact of cMyBP-C on LDA, we measured isometric force, myofilament Ca(2+)-sensitivity (pCa50) and length-dependent changes in kinetic parameters of cross-bridge (XB) relaxation (k rel), and recruitment (k df) due to rapid stretch, as well as the rate of force redevelopment (k tr) in response to a large slack-restretch maneuver in skinned ventricular multicellular preparations isolated from the hearts of wild-type (WT) and cMyBP-C knockout (KO) mice, at SL's 1.9 μm or 2.1 μm. Our results show that maximal force was not significantly different between KO and WT preparations but length-dependent increase in pCa50 was attenuated in the KO preparations. pCa50 was not significantly different between WT and KO preparations at long SL (5.82 ± 0.02 in WT vs. 5.87 ± 0.02 in KO), whereas pCa50 was significantly different between WT and KO preparations at short SL (5.71 ± 0.02 in WT vs. 5.80 ± 0.01 in KO; p < 0.05). The k tr, measured at half-maximal Ca(2+)-activation, was significantly accelerated at short SL in WT preparations (8.74 ± 0.56 s(-1) at 1.9 μm vs. 5.71 ± 0.40 s(-1) at 2.1 μm, p < 0.05). Furthermore, k rel and k df were accelerated by 32% and 50%, respectively at short SL in WT preparations. In contrast, k tr was not altered by changes in SL in KO preparations (8.03 ± 0.54 s(-1) at 1.9 μm vs. 8.90 ± 0.37 s(-1) at 2.1 μm). Similarly, KO preparations did not exhibit length-dependent changes in k rel and k df. Collectively, our data implicate cMyBP-C as an important regulator of LDA via its impact on dynamic XB behavior due to changes in SL.
