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 exact mechanism of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been not well elucidated. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death due to excessive accumulation of peroxidized polyunsaturated fatty acids. However, the molecular mechanism underlying AF and ferroptosis has never been reported. Here, we established the rapid pacing model in vivo and vitro to investigate the relationship between AF and ferroptosis. In canine model of rapid atrial pacing, the content of malondialdehyde and total ions in the atrial tissue of the Pacing group was significantly increased and the exosome inhibitor GW4869 reduced ferroptosis, fibrosis, and inflammation and improved histological and electrophysiological remodeling. In rapid pacing h9c2 cells, the expression of antioxidative stress genes associated with ferroptosis presented sequential changes and proteins involved in ferroptosis such as FTH1, SLC7A11, and GPX4 were gradually depleted. Furthermore, pacing cardiac fibroblast-derived exosomes (CF-exos) exacerbated ferroptosis in h9c2 cells and pretreated pacing-CF-exos with GW4869 alleviated injury to h9c2 cells. In mechanism, our results demonstrated that pacing-CF-exos highly expressed miR-23a-3p by informatics analysis and experimental verification. Inhibitor-miR-23a-3p protected h9c2 cells from ferroptosis accompanying with upregulation of SLC7A11. In addition, SLC7A11 was shown to be the target gene of miR-23a-3p. In conclusion, our results suggest that CF-exos-miR-23a-3p may promote ferroptosis. The development of AF in a persistent direction could be prevented by intervening with exosomal miRNAs to reduce oxidative stress injury and ferroptosis.
