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

The lysosomal cysteine protease Cathepsin K is elevated in humans and animal models of heart failure. Our recent studies show that whole-body deletion of Cathepsin K protects mice against cardiac dysfunction. Whether this is attributable to a direct effect on cardiomyocytes or is a consequence of the global metabolic alterations associated with Cathepsin K deletion is unknown. To determine the role of Cathepsin K in cardiomyocytes, we developed a cardiomyocyte-specific Cathepsin K-deficient mouse model and tested the hypothesis that ablation of Cathepsin K in cardiomyocytes would ameliorate the cardiotoxic side-effects of the anticancer drug doxorubicin. We used an α-myosin heavy chain promoter to drive expression of Cre, which resulted in over 80% reduction in protein and mRNA levels of cardiac Cathepsin K at baseline. Four-month-old control (Myh-Cre
