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

Recent studies demonstrated that mitochondrial antioxidant MnSOD that reduces mitochondrial (mito) reactive oxygen species (ROS) helps maintain an optimal balance between sub-cellular ROS levels in coronary vascular endothelial cells (ECs). However, it is not known whether EC-specific mito-ROS modulation provides resilience to coronary ECs after a non-reperfused acute myocardial infarction (MI). This study examined whether a reduction in endothelium-specific mito-ROS improves the survival and proliferation of coronary ECs in vivo. We generated a novel conditional binary transgenic animal model that overexpresses (OE) mitochondrial antioxidant MnSOD in an EC-specific manner (MnSOD-OE). EC-specific MnSOD-OE was validated in heart sections and mouse heart ECs (MHECs). Mitosox and mito-roGFP assays demonstrated that MnSOD-OE resulted in a 50% reduction in mito-ROS in MHEC. Control and MnSOD-OE mice were subject to non-reperfusion MI surgery, echocardiography, and heart harvest. In post-MI hearts, MnSOD-OE promoted EC proliferation (by 2.4 ± 0.9 fold) and coronary angiogenesis (by 3.4 ± 0.9 fold), reduced myocardial infarct size (by 27%), and improved left ventricle ejection fraction (by 16%) and fractional shortening (by 20%). Interestingly, proteomic and Western blot analyses demonstrated upregulation in mitochondrial complex I and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) proteins in MnSOD-OE MHECs. These MHECs also showed increased mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and membrane potential. These findings suggest that mito-ROS reduction in EC improves coronary angiogenesis and cardiac function in non-reperfused MI, which are associated with increased activation of OXPHOS in EC-mitochondria. Activation of an energy-efficient mechanism in EC may be a novel mechanism to confer resilience to coronary EC during MI.
