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

aimsWe aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of pleiotropic chemokine CCL24 in heart failure. METHODS AND

resultsCompared with normal donators, the expression of CCL24 and number of cardiac M2 macrophages in heart were higher in heart failure patients, the same as plasma CCL24. Treatment with CCL24 antibody hindered Ang II (1500 ng/kg/min)-induced cardiac adverse remodeling through preventing cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. RNA-seq showed that CCL24/CCR3 axis was involved in immune and inflammatory responses. Single-cell analysis of cytometry by time of flight (CyTOF) revealed that CCL24 antibody decreased the M2 macrophage and monocyte polarization during Ang II stimulation. Immunofluorescence co-localization analysis confirmed the expression of CCR3 in macrophage and fibroblasts. Then, in vitro experiments confirmed that CCL24/CCR3 axis was also involved in cardiac primary fibroblast activation through its G protein-coupled receptor function.

conclusionCCL24/CCR3 axis plays a crucial part in cardiac remodeling by stimulating M2 macrophage polarization and cardiac fibroblast activation. Cardiac M2 macrophages, CCL24 and circulation CCL24 increased in heart failure patients. Treatment with CCL24 Ab hindered Ang II induced cardiac structural dysfunction and electrical remodeling. In CCL24 Ab group RNA-seq found that it was related to immune responses and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, CytoF revealed M2 macrophages and monocytes decreased obviously. In vitro,CCL24 promoted activation and migration of cardiac fibroblast.
