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

unlabelledIn the heart, secretory renin promotes hypertrophy, apoptosis, necrosis, fibrosis, and cardiac failure through angiotensin generation from angiotensinogen. Thus, inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system are among the most potent drugs in the treatment of cardiac failure. Renin transcripts have been identified encoding a renin isoform with unknown targets and unknown functions that are localized to the cytosol and mitochondria. We hypothesize that this isoform, in contrast to secretory renin, exerts cardioprotective effects in an angiotensin-independent manner. Cells overexpressing cytosolic renin were generated by transfection or obtained from CX(exon2-9)renin transgenic rats. Overexpression of cytosolic renin reduced the rate of necrosis in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts and in primary cardiomyocytes after glucose depletion. These effects were not mediated by angiotensin generation since an inhibitor of renin activity did not influence the in vitro effects. siRNA-mediated knockdown of endogenous cytosolic renin increased the rate of necrosis and aggravated the pro-necrotic effects of glucose depletion. Isolated perfused hearts obtained from transgenic rats overexpressing cytosolic renin exhibited a 50% reduction of infarct size after ischemia-reperfusion injury. Cytosolic renin is essential for survival, both under basal conditions and during glucose starvation. The protective effects are angiotensin-independent and contrary to the known actions of secretory renin. KEY MESSAGES: A cytosolic isoform of renin with unknown functions is expressed in the heart. Cytosolic renin diminishes ischemia induced damage to the heart. The protective effects of cytosolic renin contradict the known function of secretory renin. The effects of cytosolic renin are not mediated via angiotensin generation. Renin-binding protein is a potential target for cytosolic renin.
