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

backgroundMyocardial infarction (MI) is characterized by an elevated nitrosative and hypoxic microenvironment due to reduced coronary blood flow. NEMO (IKKγ) regulates the formation of the IKK holo-complex to activate NFκB-p65 signaling. This study reports successful restoration of MI through cardiomyocyte-targeted nanotized S-nitrosyl mutant of NEMO under elevated nitrosative stress.

methodsThe MI model was generated in male Wistar rats. S-nitrosyl mutant of NEMO (R- NEMO) was selectively delivered to the cardiomyocytes via targeted chitosan nano-vehicle.

resultsNano-conjugated R- NEMO delivery to diseased cardiomyocytes resulted in downregulation of nitrosative stress and cellular apoptosis leading to regressed infarct area with improved cardiac pathophysiology. Mechanistically, NEMO-p300 binding in R- NEMO expressed cells destabilized p65-p300 complex leading to regressed nitrosative stress and cellular apoptosis. The NEMO mutant inhibits the PGC1α-p65 complex-mediated degradation of PGC1α, leading to upregulation of VEGF. A shift in the binding preference of p65 from PGC1α/p300 to HDAC1 results in the downregulation of the cell-cycle inhibitor and the induction of cell-cycle re-entry markers during MI.

conclusionTissue-targeted R- NEMO nanoconjugates show potential to ameliorate MI insult by downregulating apoptosis and promoting the proliferative prowess of the resident cardiomyocytes with potential revascularization at infarct sites; thus, repairing the damaged myocardium.
