CTRP3 attenuates cardiac dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress and cell death in diabetic cardiomyopathy in rats.
Article in Diabetologia, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 91 papers.
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
aims/hypothesisOxidative stress, inflammation and cell death are closely involved in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). C1q/tumour necrosis factor-related protein-3 (CTRP3) has anti-inflammatory properties but its role in DCM remains largely unknown. The aims of this study were to determine whether CTRP3 could attenuate DCM and to clarify the underlying mechanisms.
methodsStreptozotocin (STZ) was injected intraperitoneally to induce diabetes in Sprague-Dawley rats. Cardiomyocyte-specific CTRP3 overexpression was achieved using an adeno-associated virus system 12 weeks after STZ injection.
resultsCTRP3 expression was significantly decreased in diabetic rat hearts. Knockdown of CTRP3 in cardiomyocytes at baseline resulted in increased oxidative injury, inflammation and apoptosis in vitro. Cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of CTRP3 decreased oxidative stress and inflammation, attenuated myocyte death and improved cardiac function in rats treated with STZ. CTRP3 significantly activated AMP-activated protein kinase α (AMPKα) and Akt (protein kinase B) in H9c2 cells. CTRP3 protected against high-glucose-induced oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis in vitro. AMPKα deficiency abolished the protective effects of CTRP3 in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we found that CTRP3 activated AMPKα via the cAMP-exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (EPAC)-mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) pathway. CONCLUSIONS/
interpretationCTRP3 protected against DCM via activation of the AMPKα pathway. CTRP3 has therapeutic potential for the treatment of DCM.
