XAV939 Improves the Prognosis of Myocardial Infarction by Blocking the Wnt/β-Catenin Signalling Pathway.
Article in Applied biochemistry and biotechnology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Myocardial infarction (MI) is closely related to the Wnt signalling pathway, but the role of XAV939 (a Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway blocker) in MI has not been elucidated. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of XAV939 in mouse hearts and to provide a new and feasible treatment for improving the prognosis of MI. C57BL/6 (male, 8 weeks old, 20-25 g) mice were selected for our study. The MI model was made by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. On day 28 after the operation, cardiac function was examined by echocardiography. Infarct size, fibrosis, and angiogenesis were individually measured by TTC assays, Masson's trichrome staining, and CD31 analysis, respectively. Apoptosis was examined by TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labelling (TUNEL) staining. The expression of Wnt, β-catenin, caspase 3, Bax, and Bcl-2 was determined by western blotting. XAV939 successfully blocked Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway activation in cardiomyocytes after MI by promoting the degradation of β-catenin. XAV939 suppressed fibrosis and apoptosis, promoted angiogenesis, reduced myocardial infarct size and improved cardiac function after MI. XAV939 can reduce myocardial infarct size and improve cardiac function by blocking the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway, which may provide a new strategy for improving the prognosis of MI.
