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

Cardiac hypertrophy has become a major cardiovascular problem wordwide and is considered the early stage of heart failure. Treatment and prevention strategies are needed due to the suboptimal efficacy of current treatment methods. Recently, many studies have demonstrated the important role of histone acetylation in myocardium remodelling along with cardiac hypertrophy. A Chinese herbal extract containing anacardic acid (AA) is known to possess strong histone acetylation inhibitory effects. In previous studies, we demonstrated that AA could reverse alcohol-induced cardiac hypertrophy in an animal model at the foetal stage. Here, we investigated whether AA could attenuate cardiac hypertrophy through the modulation of histone acetylation and explored its potential mechanisms in the hearts of transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mice. This study showed that AA attenuated hyperacetylation of acetylated lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3K9ac) by inhibiting the expression of p300 and p300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF) in TAC mice. Moreover, AA normalized the transcriptional activity of the heart nuclear transcription factor MEF2A. The high expression of cardiac hypertrophy-linked genes (ANP, β-MHC) was reversed through AA treatment in the hearts of TAC mice. Additionally, we found that AA improved cardiac function and survival rate in TAC mice. The current results further highlight the mechanism by which histone acetylation is controlled by AA treatment, which may help prevent and treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
