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

backgroundExcitation-contraction (E-C) coupling processes become disrupted in heart failure (HF), resulting in abnormal Ca

methodsCalpain-resistant JP2 knock-in mice (JP2

resultsJP2 proteolysis by calpain and in response to transverse aortic constriction and isoproterenol was blocked in JP2

conclusionsThe data presented here demonstrate that preserving JP2-dependent E-C coupling by prohibiting the site-specific calpain cleavage of JP2 offers multifaceted beneficial effects, conferring cardiac protection against stress-induced proteolysis, hypertrophy, and HF. Our data also indicate that specifically targeting the primary calpain cleavage site of JP2 by gene therapy approaches holds great therapeutic potential as a novel precision medicine for treating HF.
