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

The activation of the GATA-binding factor 4 (GATA4) transcription factor induces cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. The multimerization of transcription factors often plays an important role in the regulation of transcriptional activity. Here, we report that the GATA4 transcription factor forms a homomultimer and that residues 308-326 of GATA4 are necessary for its multimerization. The acetylation of GATA4 by the transcriptional co-activator p300 induces the multimerization of GATA4 and activates its DNA binding activity. In addition, we found that the suppression of GATA4 multimerization did not reduce its acetylation, but repressed GATA4/p300-induced gene transcription. Furthermore, the inhibition of GATA4 multimerization suppressed phenylephrine (PE)-induced hypertrophic response in cardiomyocytes. This study demonstrates that the multimerization of GATA4 during the p300-induced acetylation of GATA4 activates the transcription of hypertrophic response genes, which leads to cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Therefore, the inhibition of GATA4 homomultimerization could serve as a potential therapeutic strategy for the development of novel drugs against heart failure.
