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

objectivesWe investigated the role of cardiomyocyte autophagy and its regulatory mechanisms by WenxinKeli (WXKL) in cells subjected to hypertrophy.

methodsH9C2 cardiomyocytes were divided into 8 groups. Cytoskeletal proteins as well as endogenously expressed autophagy marker proteins were studied by confocal imaging. Western blotting was used to assess the levels of light chain-3 (LC3) and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). The cell viability assay was used to detect the content of ATP. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptotic cardiomyocytes.

results(1) Compared with the control group, the length and width of cells in the Angiotensin II (AngII) group were significantly increased, while those in the 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and the WXKL groups were decreased. (2) Compared with AngII group, the expression of LC3 II/I protein in the 3-MA and WXKL groups was downregulated, while the expression of mTOR protein was upregulated. (3) Compared with the AngII group, the cardiomyocytes in the WXKL group showed increased ATP and decreased apoptosis rate and number of autophagosome.

conclusionsWe propose a novel role of WXKL as a likely inhibitor of cardiac hypertrophy by regulation of pathological autophagy.
