Ser14 phosphorylation of Bcl-xL mediates compensatory cardiac hypertrophy in male mice.
Article in Nature communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The anti-apoptotic function of Bcl-xL in the heart during ischemia/reperfusion is diminished by K-Ras-Mst1-mediated phosphorylation of Ser14, which allows dissociation of Bcl-xL from Bax and promotes cardiomyocyte death. Here we show that Ser14 phosphorylation of Bcl-xL is also promoted by hemodynamic stress in the heart, through the H-Ras-ERK pathway. Bcl-xL Ser14 phosphorylation-resistant knock-in male mice develop less cardiac hypertrophy and exhibit contractile dysfunction and increased mortality during acute pressure overload. Bcl-xL Ser14 phosphorylation enhances the Ca2+ transient by blocking the inhibitory interaction between Bcl-xL and IP3Rs, thereby promoting Ca2+ release and activation of the calcineurin-NFAT pathway, a Ca2+-dependent mechanism that promotes cardiac hypertrophy. These results suggest that phosphorylation of Bcl-xL at Ser14 in response to acute pressure overload plays an essential role in mediating compensatory hypertrophy by inducing the release of Bcl-xL from IP3Rs, alleviating the negative constraint of Bcl-xL upon the IP3R-NFAT pathway.
