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

Junctophilin-2 (JP2), a membrane-binding protein that provides a structural bridge between the plasmalemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum, is essential for precise Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release during excitation-contraction coupling in cardiomyocytes. In animal and human failing hearts, expression of JP2 is decreased markedly, but the molecular mechanisms underlying JP2 down-regulation remain incompletely defined. In mouse hearts, ischemia/reperfusion injury resulted in acute JP2 down-regulation, which was attenuated by pretreatment with the calpain inhibitor MDL-28170 or by transgenic overexpression of calpastatin, an endogenous calpain inhibitor. Using a combination of computational analysis to predict calpain cleavage sites and in vitro calpain proteolysis reactions, we identified four putative calpain cleavage sites within JP2 with three N-terminal and one C-terminal cleavage sites. Mutagenesis defined the C-terminal region of JP2 as the predominant calpain cleavage site. Exogenous expression of putative JP2 cleavage fragments was not sufficient to rescue Ca(2+) handling in JP2-deficient cardiomyocytes, indicating that cleaved JP2 is non-functional for normal Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release. These data provide new molecular insights into the posttranslational regulatory mechanisms of JP2 in cardiac diseases.
