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

objectivesCardiac Ca MATERIALS AND

methodsThe cardiomyocyte cell line HL-1 was used in this study. A clinostat and centrifuge were used to study the effects of microgravity and hypergravity, respectively, on cells. Calcium signalling was detected with laser scanning confocal microscopy. Protein and mRNA levels were detected by Western blotting and real-time PCR, respectively. Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) staining was used to analyse cell size.

resultsOur data showed that spontaneous calcium oscillations and cytosolic calcium concentration are both increased in HL-1 cells after simulated microgravity and 4G hypergravity. Increased cytosolic calcium leads to activation of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II/histone deacetylase 4 (CaMKII/HDAC4) signalling and upregulation of the foetal genes ANP and BNP, indicating cardiac remodelling. WGA staining indicated that cell size was decreased following rotation-simulated microgravity and increased following 4G hypergravity. Moreover, HL-1 cell proliferation was increased significantly under hypergravity but not rotation-simulated microgravity.

conclusionsOur study demonstrates for the first time that Ca
