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

The recent discovery of clinically significant data, alongside novel physiological and pathological occurrences surrounding sacubitril/valsartan (Sac/Val) beyond its approved indications, necessitates an urgent reevaluation of its underlying mechanism of action. In the present investigation, we observed a substantial elevation in the serum levels of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who were administered Sac/Val, compared to those who were not, utilizing ELISA-based measurements. Furthermore, through the utilization of a mouse model of myocardial infarction induced by ligation of the left anterior descending branch, we confirmed that FGF21 mediates the cardioprotective effect of Sac/Val, employing both loss-of-function and gain-of-function approaches. Molecular docking and SPR experiments validated that Sac/Val can regulate FGF21 via its interaction with PPARs, and verified the role of PPARs in mediating Sac/Val regulation of FGF21 by inhibiting PPARs. In conclusion, we found that Sac/Val can act as an agonist of FGF21, which provides a new idea for the development of FGF21 drugs, and FGF21 as a new target of Sac/Val to ameliorate myocardial infarction, which provides a basis for new indications for Sac/Val.
