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

background and purposeActivation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor exerts a range of cardioprotective effects. Geniposide is an agonist of GLP-1 receptor, but its role in cardiac hypertrophy remains completely unknown. Here, we have investigated its protective effects and clarified the underlying molecular mechanisms. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: The transverse aorta was constricted in C57/B6 mice and then geniposide was given orally for 7 weeks. Morphological changes, echocardiographic parameters, histological analyses and hypertrophic markers were used to evaluate hypertrophy. KEY

resultsGeniposide inhibited the hypertrophic response induced by constriction of the transverse aorta or by isoprenaline. Activation of 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase-α (AMPKα) and inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin, ERK and endoplasmic reticulum stress were observed in hypertrophic hearts that were treated with geniposide. Furthermore, Compound C (CpC) or knock-down of AMPKα restricted protection of geniposide against cell hypertrophy and activation of mammalian target of rapamycin and ERK induced by hypertrophic stimuli. CpC or shAMPKα also abolished the protection of geniposide against endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by thapsigargin or dihtiothreitol. The cardio-protective effects of geniposide were ablated in mice subjected to CpC. GLP-1receptor blockade counteracted the anti-hypertrophic response and activation of AMPKα by geniposide. Knock-down of GLP-1 receptor also offset the inhibitory effects of geniposide on cardiac hypertrophy in vivo. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Geniposide protected against cardiac hypertrophy via activation of the GLP-1 receptor/AMPKα pathway. Geniposide is a potential therapeutic drug for cardiac hypertrophy.
