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

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-associated myocarditis is a rare but potentially fatal immune-related adverse event. Previously, we reported a case of ICI-associated myocarditis with elevated autoantibodies to 4E-binding protein 3 (4E-BP3). Recent studies have suggested that 4E-BP3 may play an important role in tumor development. However, its role in cardiac diseases including myocarditis is unknown. We investigated the role of 4E-BP3 in an autoimmune myocarditis mouse model. Myocarditis was induced in wild-type and 4E-BP3 knockout mice by immunization with murine α-myosin peptide. 4E-BP3 gene expression was upregulated in the heart of myocarditis mouse. We found that genetic deletion of 4E-BP3 attenuated myocardial inflammation, reduced fibrosis area, and improved cardiac function in myocarditis mice. Studies in bone marrow-chimeric mice demonstrated that immune cell-derived 4E-BP3 plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of myocarditis. Immune cell transfer experiments revealed that 4E-BP3 deficiency in dendritic cells and CD4
