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

backgroundPeriostin is an extracellular matrix protein that plays a critical role in cell fate determination and tissue remodeling, but the underlying role and mechanism of periostin in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) are far from clear. Thus, we aimed to clarify the mechanistic participation of periostin in DCM.

methodsThe expression of periostin was examined in DCM patients, diabetic mice and high glucose (HG)-exposed cardiac fibroblasts (CF). Gain- and loss-of-function experiments assessed the potential role of periostin in DCM pathogenesis. RNA sequencing was used to investigate the underlying mechanisms of periostin in DCM.

resultsA mouse cytokine antibody array showed that the protein expression of periostin was most significantly upregulated in diabetic mouse heart, and this increase was also observed in patients with DCM or HG-incubated CF. Periostin-deficient mice were protected from diabetes-induced cardiac dysfunction and myocardial damage, while overexpression of periostin held the opposite effects. Hyperglycemia stimulated the expression of periostin in a TGF-β/Smad-dependent manner. RNA sequencing results showed that periostin upregulated the expression of nucleosome assembly protein 1-like 2 (NAP1L2) which recruited SIRT3 to deacetylate H3K27ac on the promoters of the branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism-related enzymes BCAT2 and PP2Cm, resulting in BCAA catabolism impairment. Additionally, CF-derived periostin induced hypertrophy, oxidative injury and inflammation in primary cardiomyocytes. Finally, we identified that glucosyringic acid (GA) specifically targeted and inhibited periostin to ameliorate DCM.

conclusionOverall, manipulating periostin expression may function as a promising strategy in the treatment of DCM.
