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

After menopause, the incidence of cardiovascular disease rapidly rises in women. The disappearing protection provided by sex steroids is a consequence of the development of many risk factors. Preclinical studies are necessary to understand better the effects of ovarian hormones loss cardiac aging. To mimic menopause in mice and study its consequences, we delayed ovariectomy at 12 months and followed animals for 12 months. Using RNA sequencing, we investigated changes in the myocardial exome with aging. In addition, with four-core genotypes (FCG) transgenic mice, we studied sex chromosome effects on cardiac aging. Heart weight increased from 3 to 24 months (males + 35%, females + 29%). In males, 75% of this increase had occurred at 12 months; in females, only 30%. Gonadectomy of mice at 12 months blocked cardiac hypertrophy in both sexes during the second year of life. The dosage of the X chromosomes did not influence cardiac growth in young and older mice. We performed an RNA sequencing study in young and old mice. We identified new highly expressed genes modulated during aging (
