Tail Length and E525K Dilated Cardiomyopathy Mutant Alter Human β-Cardiac Myosin Super-Relaxed State.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by impaired cardiac function due to myocardial hypo-contractility and is associated with point mutations in β-cardiac myosin, the molecular motor that powers cardiac contraction. Myocardial function can be modulated through sequestration of myosin motors into an auto-inhibited "super relaxed" state (SRX), which is further stabilized by a structural state known as the "Interacting Heads Motif" (IHM). Therefore, hypo-contractility of DCM myocardium may result from: 1) reduced function of individual myosin, and/or; 2) decreased myosin availability due to increased IHM/SRX stabilization. To define the molecular impact of an established DCM myosin mutation, E525K, we characterized the biochemical and mechanical activity of wild-type (WT) and E525K human β-cardiac myosin constructs that differed in the length of their coiled-coil tail, which dictates their ability to form the IHM/SRX state. Single-headed (S1) and a short-tailed, double-headed (2HEP) myosin constructs exhibited low (~10%) IHM/SRX content, actin-activated ATPase activity of ~5s
