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

Oxidative stress generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can promote or inhibit cardiac differentiation of stem cells dependent on the intensity of stimuli as well as cellular context in redox and differentiation status. In the current study, we confirmed that suitable intensity of hydrogen peroxide at the formation stage of embryoid bodies (EBs) effectively favored the formation of spontaneously beating cardiomyocytes from P19 embryonal carcinoma cells. Mechanistic studies implicated that extrinsic ROS enhanced the Caspase-mediated degradation of Oct4 and Nanog, two factors that governing pluripotent property. Further experiments suggested that a cohort of Nanog together with histone deacetylase 4 (Hdac4) played a critical role in establishing and maintaining the silent transcriptional status of Gata4 and Nkx2.5 in undifferentiated cells. Thus, an impulse of hydrogen peroxide depleted Nanog and Hdac4 via a caspase-dependent manner to ameliorate the repression on Gata4 and Nkx2.5 promoters, thereby generating a persistent activation on cardiac differentiation program. Meanwhile, we found that excessive ROS-activated JNK cascade to facilitate the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of Gata4 protein. Overall, our results indicate that suitable ROS promotes the activation of Gata4 in transcription, while excessive ROS targets Gata4 protein for proteasome-dependent degradation. Gata4 is an important modulator balancing the promoting and inhibitory effects of oxidative stress on differentiation program of cardiomyogenesis.
