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

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as a new class of gene expression regulators playing key roles in many biological and pathophysiological processes. Here, we identify cardiac conduction regulatory RNA (CCRR) as an antiarrhythmic lncRNA. CCRR is downregulated in a mouse model of heart failure (HF) and in patients with HF, and this downregulation slows cardiac conduction and enhances arrhythmogenicity. Moreover, CCRR silencing induces arrhythmias in healthy mice. CCRR overexpression eliminates these detrimental alterations. HF or CCRR knockdown causes destruction of intercalated discs and gap junctions to slow longitudinal cardiac conduction. CCRR overexpression improves cardiac conduction by blocking endocytic trafficking of connexin43 (Cx43) to prevent its degradation via binding to Cx43-interacting protein CIP85, whereas CCRR silence does the opposite. We identified the functional domain of CCRR, which can reproduce the functional roles and pertinent molecular events of full-length CCRR. Our study suggests CCRR replacement a potential therapeutic approach for pathological arrhythmias.
