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

Cardiomyopathies affect individuals worldwide, without regard to age, sex and ethnicity and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Inherited cardiomyopathies account for a relevant part of these conditions. Although progresses have been made over the years, early diagnosis and curative therapies are still challenging. Understanding the events occurring in normal and diseased cardiac cells is crucial, as they are important determinants of overall heart function. Besides chemical and molecular events, there are also structural and mechanical phenomena that require to be investigated. Cell structure and mechanics largely depend from the cytoskeleton, which is composed by filamentous proteins that can be cross-linked via accessory proteins. Alpha-actinin 2 (ACTN2), filamin C (FLNC) and dystrophin are three major actin cross-linkers that extensively contribute to the regulation of cell structure and mechanics. Hereby, we review the current understanding of the roles played by ACTN2, FLNC and dystrophin in the onset and progress of inherited cardiomyopathies. With our work, we aim to set the stage for new approaches to study the cardiomyopathies, which might reveal new therapeutic targets and broaden the panel of genes to be screened.
