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

Autophagy is a highly regulated intracellular process to maintain cellular homeostasis by degrading damaged proteins and organelles. Dysregulation of autophagic activity in cardiomyocytes is implicated in various heart diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms of cardiomyocyte autophagy are not yet known. In this study, the enhanced cardiomyocyte autophagy was induced by angiotensin II (0.1 μmol/L), demonstrated by the increase of double-membraned autophagosomes, BECN1 expression, and the conversion of LC3-I to LC3-II. Microarray assay showed that a total of 197 genes were differentially expressed in angiotensin II-treated cardiomyocytes, including 22 upregulated and 175 downregulated. Gene ontology functional enrichment analysis showed that nearly 50% of differentially expressed genes were related to metabolism and energy maintenance in biological process. Pathway analysis showed that most frequently represented pathways were involved in metabolism and the citric acid cycle and respiratory electron transport. Based on KEGG database, 10 differentially expressed genes were found to be involved in autophagic signaling pathways. The hub genes with high degree were predicted to regulate cardiomyocyte autophagy activity by PPI network analysis. NEDD4, the top focus hub gene, showed a clear time-dependent increased expression pattern in cardiomyocytes during angiotensin II treatment. Moreover, inhibition of NEDD4 could significantly reduce cardiomyocyte autophagy induced by angiotensin II. In summary, the cardiomyocyte autophagy-related genes were screened by microarray assay combining with bioinformatics analysis. The role of NEDD4 on cardiomyocyte autophagy might provide valuable clues to finding therapeutic targets for heart diseases.
