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

Right ventricular (RV) remodeling represents a complex set of functional and structural adaptations in response to chronic pressure or volume overload due to various inborn defects or acquired diseases and is an important determinant of patient outcome. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. We investigated the time course of structural and functional changes in the RV in the murine model of pressure overload-induced RV hypertrophy in C57Bl/6J mice. Using magnetic resonance imaging, we assessed the changes of RV structure and function at different time points for a period of 21 days. Pressure overload led to significant dilatation, cellular and chamber hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, and functional impairment of the RV Progressive remodeling of the RV after pulmonary artery banding (PAB) in mice was associated with upregulation of myocardial gene markers of hypertrophy and fibrosis. Furthermore, remodeling of the RV was associated with accumulation and activation of mast cells in the RV tissue of PAB mice. Our data suggest possible involvement of mast cells in the RV remodeling process in response to pressure overload. Mast cells may thus represent an interesting target for the development of new therapeutic approaches directed specifically at the RV.
