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 metabolic remodeling is recognized as an important hallmark of heart failure (HF), while strategies that target energy metabolism have therapeutic potential in treating HF. Shen-Fu formula (S-F) is a standardized herbal preparation frequently used in clinical practice and is a promising combinatorial therapy for HF-related metabolic remodeling. Herein, we performed an untargeted multi-omics analysis using transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics on HF mice induced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC). Integrated and pathway-driven analyses were used to reveal the therapeutic targets associated with S-F treatment. The cardioprotective effect and potential mechanism of S-F were verified by the results from echocardiography, hemodynamics, histopathology, and biochemical assays. As a result, S-F significantly alleviated myocardial fibrosis and hypertrophy, thus reducing the loss of heart function during adverse cardiac remodeling in TAC mice. Integrated omics analysis showed that S-F synergistically mediated the metabolic flexibility of fatty acids and glucose in cardiac energy metabolism. These effects of S-F were confirmed by the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and its downstream targets in the failing heart. Collectively, our results demonstrated that S-F suppressed cardiac metabolic remodeling through activating AMPK-related pathways via energy-dependent mechanisms.
