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

This study aimed to investigate the effects and molecular mechanisms of ivabradine in preventing cardiac hypertrophy in an established transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mouse model. A total of 56 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned into the following seven groups (8 mice per group): sham, TAC model, Iva-10 (10 mg/kg/day ivabradine), Iva-20 (20 mg/kg/day ivabradine), Iva-40 (40 mg/kg/day ivabradine), Iva-80 (80 mg/kg/day ivabradine), and Rap (rapamycin, a positive control). Echocardiography and left ventricular hemodynamics were performed. Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E), Masson's trichome staining, and TUNEL assays were conducted to evaluate cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and apoptosis, respectively. Western blotting was performed to detect the expression of proteins related to the PI3K/Akt/mTOR/p70S6K pathway. Ivabradine could effectively improve left ventricular dysfunction and hypertrophy induced by TAC in a dose-independent manner. Moreover, no obvious change in heart rate (HR) was observed in the TAC and Rap groups, whereas a significant decrease in HR was found after ivabradine treatment (P < 0.05). Cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and apoptosis induced by TAC were notably suppressed after either rapamycin or ivabradine treatment (P < 0.05). Ivabradine and rapamycin also decreased the expression of PI3K/Akt and mTOR induced by TAC. Ivabradine improved cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis as well as reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis via the PI3K/Akt/mTOR/p70S6K pathway in TAC model mice.
