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

backgroundOur previous study have demonstrated chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and cardiac dysfunction. However, the molecular mechanisms are complicated and varied. In this study, we first investigated the CaMKIIγ expression and signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of cardiomyocyte apoptosis after CIH.

methodsRats were separated into CIH and Normoxia groups, and H9c2 cells were divided into Control and CIH + 8 h groups. Rat body weight (BW) was markedly gained from two to six weeks. Furthermore, CIH decreased cardiac dysfunction, damaged cellular structure, induced myocardial fibrosis, and promoted cardiomyocyte apoptosis by HE, masson, sirius-red, and TUNEL staining. Western blot, immunohistochemical, immunofluorescence, double immunofluorescence staining were performed to investigate CaMKIIγ, Bcl-2, Bax, Caspase 3, HIF-1 protein expression.

resultsHeart weight (HW) and HW/BW ratio in CIH group was markedly gained compared with the Normoxia group. CaMKIIγ expression was notably increased after CIH, and mainly expressed in the cytoplasm in vivo and vitro. The results of HIF-1 expression have the same trend of CaMKIIγ expression and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. In addition, the co-localizations of CaMKIIγ with Caspase 3, and CaMKIIγ with HIF-1 were observed by double immunofluorescence staining.

conclusionsThese results indicated increased CaMKIIγ expression advances CIH-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis via HIF-1 signaling pathway, which afford a new insight and provide a potential therapy for OSA patients.
