Decreased Cardiac Expression of Heat Shock Protein 27 is Associated with Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Rheumatic Heart Disease.

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.
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
backgroundThe objective of this study was to compare the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) between rheumatic heart disease (RHD) patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and RHD patients without AF, and its efficacy in predicting the occurrence of AF in RHD patients.
methodsNinety-five patients were enrolled in our study, including 60 RHD patients with AF, and 35 RHD patients without AF. The baseline characteristics of the patients such as gender, age, AF duration, left atrial diameter and left ventricular ejection fraction were collected, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate and high-sensitivity C-reaction protein were measured from all patients. Tissue samples were obtained from the right atrial appendage during open-heart surgery and then detected using immunohistochemical methods and Western blot with HSP27, HSP60, HSP70 and HSP90 antibodies.
resultsCompared with RHD patients without AF, the density of HSP27 positive protein in RHD patients with AF was significantly lower. The density of HSP60, HSP70 or HSP90 antibodies did not indicate significant difference between the two groups. Use of the Western blot experiment showed consistent results with immunohistochemical staining. In RHD patients with AF, the expression level of HSP27 protein was negatively associated with AF duration and left atrial diameter. Left atrial enlargement and low expression of HSP27 were the independent predictors of AF.
conclusionsThe decreased expression level of HSP27 is associated with AF in RHD patients. KEY WORDS: Atrial fibrillation; Heat shock protein; Rheumatic heart disease.
