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

Epigenetic dysregulation of long noncoding RNA H19 was recently found to be associated with calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) in humans by repressing NOTCH1 transcription. This finding offers a possible epigenetic explanation for the abundance of cases of CAVD that are not explained by any clear genetic mutation. In this study, we examined the effect of age and sex on epigenetic dysregulation of H19 and subsequent aortic stenosis. Cohorts of littermate, wild-type C57BL/6 mice were studied at developmental ages analogous to human middle age through advanced age. Cardiac and aortic valve function were assessed with M-mode echocardiography and pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound, respectively. Bisulfite sequencing was used to determine methylation-based epigenetic regulation of H19, and RT-PCR was used to determine changes in gene expression profiles. Male mice were found to have higher peak systolic velocities than females, with several of the oldest mice showing signs of early aortic stenosis. The imprinting control region of H19 was not hypomethylated with age, and H19 expression was lower in the aortic valves of older mice than in the youngest group. These results suggest that age-related upregulation of H19 is not observed in murine aortic valves and that other factors may initiate H19-related CAVD in humans.
