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

backgroundCarboxyl-terminal modulator protein (CTMP) has been implicated in cancer, brain injury, and obesity. However, the role of CTMP in pathological cardiac hypertrophy has not been identified. METHODS AND

resultsIn this study, decreased expression of CTMP was observed in both human failing hearts and murine hypertrophied hearts. To further explore the potential involvement of CTMP in pathological cardiac hypertrophy, cardiac-specific CTMP knockout and overexpression mice were generated. In vivo experiments revealed that CTMP deficiency exacerbated the cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and function induced by pressure overload, whereas CTMP overexpression alleviated the response to hypertrophic stimuli. Consistent with the in vivo results, adenovirus-mediated gain-of-function or loss-of-function experiments showed that CTMP also exerted a protective effect against hypertrophic responses to angiotensin II in vitro. Mechanistically, CTMP ameliorated pathological cardiac hypertrophy through the blockade of the protein kinase B signaling pathway. Moreover, inhibition of protein kinase B activation with LY294002 rescued the deteriorated effect in aortic banding-treated cardiac-specific CTMP knockout mice.

conclusionsTaken together, these findings imply, for the first time, that increasing the cardiac expression of CTMP may be a novel therapeutic strategy for pathological cardiac hypertrophy.
