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

Adora2B (adenosine receptor 2B) has been reported as one of the key modulators during cardiac remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the molecular mechanism involved has not been well investigated. Thus, our study aims to investigate whether Adora2B contributes to cardiac remodeling after AMI and its underlying mechanisms. Adenovirus harboring Adora2B or shAdora2B was injected in the border zone in a mouse model of AMI experimentally produced by permanent ligation of left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. Decreased Adora2B expression protected the cardiomyocytes from MI-induced autophagic flux obstacle, improved cardiac function, and reduced fibrosis after MI. Adora2B downregulation attenuated the accumulation of LC3-II and p62, which are autophagy substrate proteins. An adenovirus containing mRFP-GFP-LC3 showed that decreased expression of Adora2B restored the autophagic flux by enhancing autophagosome conversion to autophagolysosome. Also, Adora2B knockdown improved cardiomyocytes' survival and protected mitochondrial function of cardiomyocytes insulted with hypoxia. Notably, the effect of Adora2B on autophagy flux and cardiomyocyte protection could be mitigated by autophagy inhibitor chloroquine. Our results demonstrate that decreased expression of Adora2B protected cardiomyocytes from impaired autophagy flux induced by MI. Modulation Adora2B expression plays a significant role in blunting the worsening of heart function and reducing scar formation, suggesting therapeutic potential by targeting Adora2B in AMI for the infarct healing.
