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

Stress-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of a variety of cardiovascular diseases. Our early studies showed that HSP70 effectively inhibited apoptosis, but the underlying mechanism remained unclear. Fas-associated factor 1 (FAF1) is a member of the Fas death-inducing signaling complex (Fas-DISC) that acts upstream of caspase-8. We investigated the interactions among FAF1, HSP70, and FAS in stressed cardiomyocytes to elucidate the protective mechanism of HSP70. FAS and caspase-3/8 activity was higher in cardiomyocytes undergoing stress-induced apoptosis in restraint-stressed rats compared with cardiomyocytes in non-stressed rats, which indicated that the Fas signaling pathway was activated after restraint stress. Geranylgeranylacetone (GGA) induced an increase in HSP70 expression, which reduced stress-induced apoptosis. Additionally, overexpression of HSP70 via transfection with the pEGFP-rHSP70 plasmid attenuated norepinephrine (NE)-induced apoptosis. FAF1 expression increased during stress-induced apoptosis, and overexpression of FAF1 exacerbated NE-induced apoptosis. We also found that HSP70 interacted with FAF1. Overexpression of HSP70 inhibited the binding of FAF1 to FAS in H9C2 cells, which indicated that HSP70 suppressed NE-induced apoptosis by competitively binding to FAF1. An N-terminal deletion mutant of HSP70 (HSP70-△N) was unable to interact with FAF1. After HSP70-△N was transfected into H9C2 cells, the cells were unable to attenuate the NE-induced increases in caspase-8 and apoptosis. These results indicate that the 1-120 sequence of HSP70 binds to FAF1, which alters the interactions between FAS and FAF1 and inhibits the activation of the Fas signaling pathway and apoptosis.
