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

Cardiac function is under neural regulation; however, brain regions in the cerebral cortex responsible for regulating cardiac function remain elusive. In this study, retrograde trans-synaptic viral tracing is used from the heart to identify a specific population of the excitatory neurons in the primary motor cortex (M1) that influences cardiac function in mice. Optogenetic activation of M1 glutamatergic neurons increases heart rate, ejection fraction, and blood pressure. By contrast, inhibition of M1 glutamatergic neurons decreased cardiac function and blood pressure as well as tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression in the heart. Using viral tracing and optogenetics, the median raphe nucleus (MnR) is identified as one of the key relay brain regions in the circuit from M1 that affect cardiac function. Then, a mouse model of cardiac injury is established caused by myocardial infarction (MI), in which optogenetic activation of M1 glutamatergic neurons impaired cardiac function in MI mice. Moreover, ablation of M1 neurons decreased the levels of norepinephrine and cardiac TH expression, and enhanced cardiac function in MI mice. These findings establish that the M1 neurons involved in the regulation of cardiac function and blood pressure. They also help the understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying cardiovascular regulation.
