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

backgroundRecent evidence has indicated that the transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is expressed in the cardiovascular system and implicated in the development and progression of several cardiovascular diseases. However, the effects of TRPA1 on cardiac hypertrophy development remain unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the role of TRPA1 in cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis development.

methodsC57BL/6J mice were subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC) and were orally treated with the TRPA1 selective inhibitors HC-030031 (HC) and TCS-5861528 (TCS). Morphological assessments, echocardiographic parameters, histological analyses and flow cytometry were used to evaluate cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis.

resultsHuman and mouse hypertrophic hearts presented with noticeably increased TRPA1 protein levels. Inhibition of TRPA1 by HC and TCS attenuated cardiac hypertrophy and preserved cardiac function after chronic pressure overload, as evidenced by increased heart weight/body weight ratio, cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area and mRNA expression of hypertrophic markers, including ANP, BNP and β-MHC. Dramatic interstitial fibrosis was observed in the mice subjected to TAC surgery, and this was markedly attenuated in the HC and TCS treated mice. Mechanistically, the results revealed that TRPA1 inhibition ameliorated pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy by negatively regulating Ca

conclusionsTRPA1 inhibition protected against cardiac hypertrophy and suppressed cardiac dysfunction via Ca
