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

backgroundSunitinib is known to cause cardiotoxicity in clinical settings. However, among sunitinib-treated patients experiencing adverse cardiac events, decreased cardiac function was reportedly reversible in > 50% of the patients. We previously showed that anti-cancer drugs such as sunitinib cause marked sarcomere disruption in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs), and the extent of sarcomere disruption can be used to predict drug-induced cardiotoxicity in humans. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the reversibility of sunitinib-induced cardiac events in clinical settings can be mimicked in vitro, and to examine the molecular mechanism responsible for sunitinib-induced cardiotoxicity focusing on the Hippo pathway.

methodsiPSC-CMs were stimulated with sunitinib for 72 h and the morphology of sarcomere structures were analyzed by high-content analysis before and after sunitinib washout. To examine the involvement of the Hippo pathway in the sunitinib-induced sarcomere disruption, the extent of nuclear localization of YAP1 (yes-associated protein 1, a Hippo signaling target) was determined. iPSC-CMs were also stimulated with sunitinib and a small molecule inhibitor of the Hippo pathway, XMU-MP-1 and sarcomere structures were analyzed.

resultsWe observed a spontaneous recovery in cardiac sarcomeres in iPSC-CMs that were significantly disrupted by sunitinib treatment after a 72 h or 144 h washout of sunitinib. The extent of nuclear localization of YAP1 was significantly reduced after sunitinib stimulation and tended to return to normal levels after drug washout. Simultaneous stimulation of iPSC-CM with sunitinib and XMU-MP-1 suppressed the sunitinib-induced disruption of sarcomeres.

conclusionsThese results indicate that iPSC-CMs have the ability to recover from sunitinib-induced sarcomere disruption, and the Hippo pathway plays a role in the process of sunitinib-induced disruption of sarcomere and its recovery. Inhibition of the Hippo pathway may help to develop a co-medication strategy for mitigating the risk of sunitinib-induced adverse cardiac events.
