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 RNA-binding protein Rbm24 has recently been identified as a pivotal splicing factor in the developing heart. Loss of Rbm24 in mice disrupts cardiac development by governing a large number of muscle-specific splicing events. Since Rbm24 knockout mice are embryonically lethal, the role of Rbm24 in the adult heart remained unexplored. Here, we used adeno-associated viruses (AAV9) to investigate the effect of increased Rbm24 levels in adult mouse heart. Using high-resolution microarrays, we found 893 differentially expressed genes and 1102 differential splicing events in 714 genes in hearts overexpressing Rbm24. We found splicing differences in cardiac genes, such as PDZ and Lim domain 5, Phospholamban, and Titin, but did not find splicing differences in previously identified embryonic splicing targets of Rbm24, such as skNAC, αNAC, and Coro6. Gene ontology enrichment analysis demonstrated increased expression of extracellular matrix (ECM)-related and immune response genes. Moreover, we found increased expression of Tgfβ-signaling genes, suggesting enhanced Tgfβ-signaling in these hearts. Ultimately, this increased activation of cardiac fibroblasts, as evidenced by robust expression of Periostin in the heart, and induced extensive cardiac fibrosis. These results indicate that Rbm24 may function as a regulator of cardiac fibrosis, potentially through the regulation of TgfβR1 and TgfβR2 expression.
