Cardiac myostatin upregulation occurs immediately after myocardial ischemia and is involved in skeletal muscle activation of atrophy.

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
unlabelledMyostatin (MSTN), a negative regulator of muscle growth and size, is increased after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) but timing of upregulation after injury is not known. In this study, we investigated the timing of the MSTN/AKT/p38 pathway activation in heart and skeletal muscle after AMI, as well as the potential effect of cardiac injury-related MSTN endocrine signaling on skeletal muscle and other circulating growth factors.
methodsCoronary artery ligation was performed in C57BL/6 mice at age 8 weeks to induce AMI. Mice were sacrificed at different time points (10 m, 1 h, 2 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 months and 2 months) after surgery (n=3 per time point, n=18 total).
resultsCardiac and circulating MSTN upregulation occurred as early as 10 min after AMI. Two months after AMI, increased cardiac MSTN/SMAD2,3 and p38 together with decreased IGF-1/AKT signaling suggest an anti-hypertrophic profile. In skeletal muscle, an absence of local MSTN increase was accompanied by increased MSTN-dependent SMAD2,3 signaling, suggestive of paracrine effects due to cardiac-derived MSTN. Protein degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system in the skeletal muscle was also evident. Serum from 24h post-MI mice effectively induced a MSTN-dependent increase in atrogin1 and MuRF1.
conclusionOur study shows that cardiac MTSN activation occurs rapidly after cardiac ischemia and may be involved in peripheral protein degradation in the skeletal muscle by activating atrogin1 and MuRF1.
