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.

Abstract

Background Dilated cardiomyopathy remains a leading cause of heart failure worldwide. Immune inflammation response is recognized as a significant player in the progression of heart failure; however, immunomodulatory strategies remain a long-term challenge. Colchicine, a potent anti-inflammatory drug, has many benefits in ischemic cardiovascular events, but its role in nonischemic heart failure remains unclear. Methods and Results Doxorubicin administration was used to establish a murine dilated cardiomyopathy model, and colchicine or saline was orally given. At the end point, cardiac function and fibrosis were measured to investigate the effects of colchicine. Inflammatory cytokine levels, neutrophil recruitment, and NLRP3 (NOD-like receptor protein 3) inflammasome activation were detected to evaluate the inflammatory response. Furthermore, to examine the downstream target of colchicine, SIRT2 (Sirtuin 2) was pharmacologically inhibited in vitro; thus, changes in the NLRP3 inflammasome were detected by immunoblotting. These results showed that murine cardiac function was significantly improved and fibrosis was significantly alleviated after colchicine treatment. Moreover, the infiltration of neutrophils and the levels of inflammatory cytokines in the failing myocardium were both decreased by colchicine treatment. Mechanistically, colchicine upregulated the expression of SIRT2, leading to the inactivation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in an NLRP3 deacetylated manner. Conversely, the inhibition of SIRT2 attenuated the suppressive effect of colchicine on NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Conclusions This study indicated that colchicine could be a promising therapeutic candidate for dilated cardiomyopathy and other nonischemic heart failure associated with the inflammatory response.
