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

objectivesPhysical exercise has emerged as an effective therapy to mitigate cardiac remodelling in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). The results of our previous studies revealed mammalian sterile 20-like kinase 1 (Mst1) is a key regulator of the progression of DCM. However, the precise molecular mechanism of physical exercise-induced cardiac protection and its association with Mst1 inhibition remain unclear. MATERIALS AND

methodsWildtype and Mst1 transgenic mice were challenged with streptozotocin (STZ) to induce experimental diabetes and were divided into sedentary and exercise groups. The DCM phenotype was evaluated by echocardiography, Masson's trichrome staining, TUNEL and immunoblotting analyses. The exercise-regulated miRNAs targeting Mst1 were predicted by bioinformatic analysis and later confirmed by RT-qPCR, immunoblotting, and dual-luciferase reporter assays. In addition, cultured neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes were subjected to simulate diabetes to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

resultsCompared to the sedentary diabetic control, physical exercise inhibited Mst1 and alleviated cardiac remodelling in mice with DCM, as evidenced by decreases in the left ventricular end-systolic internal dimension (LVESD) and left ventricular end-diastolic internal dimension (LVEDD), increases in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), attenuation of collagen deposition, and the suppression of apoptosis. Bioinformatic analysis and apoptosis assessments revealed exercise exerted protective effects against DCM through miR-486a-5p release. Moreover, luciferase reporter assays confirmed miR-486a-5p directly suppressed the expression of Mst1, thereby inhibiting the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes subjected to high glucose treatment.

conclusionPhysical exercise inhibits cardiac remodelling in DCM, and the mechanism is associated with miR-486a-5p release-induced Mst1 inhibition.
