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

Mitochondrial dysfunction triggered by increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation is involved in the pathogenesis and development of cardiac hypertrophy. Nanoceria (cerium oxide nanoparticle) has powerful ROS-scavenging properties and is considered a potential therapeutic option for curbing ROS-related disorders. Here, we explored the signaling mechanism underlying the protective effects of nanoceria against angiotensin (Ang) II-stimulated pathological response in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. Our data revealed that pretreatment of H9c2 cardiomyoblasts with nanoceria significantly prevented Ang II-stimulated generation of intracellular ROS, aberrant expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and hypertrophy markers. Nanoceria pretreatment increased the mRNA levels of genes regulating the cellular antioxidant defense system (SOD2, MnSOD, CAT) in Ang II-treated cells. Furthermore, nanoceria restored mitochondrial function by decreasing mitochondrial ROS, increasing mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and promoting the mRNA expression of genes associated with mitochondrial biogenesis (PGC-1α, TFAM, NRF1, and SIRT3) and mitochondrial fusion (MFN2, OPA1). Collectively, these findings demonstrate the protective effects of nanoceria against Ang II-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and pathological hypertrophy in H9c2 cells.
