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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesHeart failure is a potentially fatal event caused by diverse cardiovascular diseases, leading to high morbidity and mortality. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors positively influence cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, hypertension, myocardial infarction, and heart failure, causing some side effects. We aimed to investigate the effect of the novel HDAC inhibitor YAK577 on the heart failure mouse model and its underlying mechanism.

methodsNew hydroxamic acid YAK577 was prepared via methyl-2,3-diphenylpropanoate synthesis using carboxylic acids. We used a micro-osmotic pump, including isoproterenol (ISO; 80 mg/kg/day), to induce a heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Cardiac hypertrophy was assessed by heart weight to body weight ratio and cross-sectional area. The left ventricular (LV) function was assessed by echocardiography. Fibrosis was evaluated using picrosirius red staining. Overexpression and knockdown experiments were performed to investigate the association between HDAC8 and matrix metalloproteinase 12 (MMP12).

resultsYAK577 treatment restored ISO-induced reduction in LV fractional shortening and ejection fraction (n=9-11). YAK577 significantly downregulated cardiac hypertrophy marker genes (natriuretic peptide B,

conclusionsYAK577 acts as a novel heart failure drug through the HDAC8/MMP12 pathway.
