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

Myocardial injury activates inflammatory mediators and provokes the integration of BCL-2/adenovirus E1B 19KD interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) into mitochondrial membranes. Translocation of BNIP3 to mitochondria inexorably causes mitochondrial fragmentation. Heart failure (HF) epitomizes the life-threatening phase of BNIP3-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiomyocyte death. Available data suggest that inflammatory mediators play a key role in cardiac cell demise and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of HF syndrome. In the present study, we reviewed the changes in BNIP3 protein expression levels during inflammatory response and postulated its role in inflammation-mediated HF. We also identified inflammatory mediators' response such as stimulation of TNF-α and NO as potent inducer of BNIP3. Previous studies suggest that the pro-apoptotic protein has a common regulator with IL-1β and induces IL-6-stimulated cardiac hypertrophy. These findings corroborate our contention that interventions designed to functionally modulate BNIP3 activity during inflammatory-mediated HF may prove beneficial in preventing HF. Such a revelation will open new avenue for further research to unravel a novel therapeutic strategy in HF diseases. Moreover, understanding of the relationship between BNIP3 and inflammatory mediators in HF pathologies will not only contribute to the discovery of drugs that can inhibit inflammation-mediated heart diseases, but also enhance the current knowledge on the key role BNIP3 plays during inflammation.
