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

The ubiquitin-proteasome system is considered to be the key regulator of protein degradation. Bortezomib (BTZ) is the first proteasome inhibitor approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment of relapsed multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. Recently, BTZ treatment was reported to inhibit right ventricular hypertrophy and vascular remodeling in hypoxia-exposed and monocrotaline-injected rats. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We previously confirmed that hypoxia-elevated basal intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) and store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) are involved in pulmonary vascular remodeling. In this study we aim to determine whether BTZ attenuates the hypoxia-induced elevation of [Ca(2+)] in PASMCs and the signaling pathway involved in this mechanism. Our results showed that 1) in hypoxia- and monocrotaline-induced rat pulmonary hypertension (PH) models, BTZ markedly attenuated the development and progression of PH, 2) BTZ inhibited the hypoxia-induced increase in cell proliferation, basal [Ca(2+)]i, and SOCE in PASMCs, and 3) BTZ significantly normalized the hypoxia-upregulated expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, bone morphogenetic protein 4, canonical transient receptor potential isoforms 1 and 6, and the hypoxia-downregulated expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ in rat distal pulmonary arteries and PASMCs. These results indicate that BTZ exerts its protective role in the development of PH potentially by inhibiting the canonical transient receptor potential-SOCE-[Ca(2+)]i signaling axis in PASMCs.
