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

It is known that there is an age-related progression in diastolic dysfunction, especially prevalent in postmenopausal women, who develop heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF, EF > 50%). Mechanisms and therapies are poorly understood, but there are strong correlations between obesity and HFpEF. We have tested the hypothesis that P21-activated kinase-1 (PAK1) preserves cardiac function and adipose tissue homeostasis during aging in female mice. Previous demonstrations in male mice by our lab that PAK1 activity confers cardio-protection against different stresses formed the rationale for this hypothesis. Our studies compared young (3-6 months) and middle-aged (12-15 months) female and male PAK1 knock-out mice (PAK1
