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

Nicotine-induced impairment of autophagic flux promotes the onset of myocardial remodelling, thereby exacerbating heart failure. In this study, we investigated the role and molecular mechanisms of the transcription factor CDX1 in cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) activation and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by nicotine. We found that CDX1 expression was increased in response to nicotine. However, a decrease in CDX1 further exacerbated the nicotine-induced blockade of autophagic flux, thereby aggravating CFs activation and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. This effect was attributed to the suppression of the autophagic regulator LAPTM4B transcription by CDX1 and the subsequent activation of the mTOR pathway. In contrast, CDX1 overexpression promoted LAPTM4B expression, resulting in the opposite effect. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that CDX1/LAPTM4B axis could alleviate nicotine-induced autophagy flux impairment by inhibiting mTORC1 pathway activation, thereby alleviating CFs activation and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, and exerting cardioprotective functions.
