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

Transcriptional regulation is essential for the development, homeostasis, and function of all organisms. Transcription factors and epigenetic modifiers play an indispensable role by direct or indirect interaction with DNA or chromatin. Although the role of transcription factor PRDM16 in adipose, haematopoietic, skeletal, and neural cell lineage specification is well-documented, its function within the cardiovascular system has only recently gained significant attention. Similar as in adipose tissue, PRDM16 displays an asymmetric expression pattern within the cardiovascular system, where it is exclusively expressed by ventricular cardiomyocytes and endothelial and smooth muscle cells of arteries while being absent in their atrial and venous counterparts. Concordantly, an increasing number of clinical and preclinical studies have identified PRDM16 as an important multi-modal regulator of cardiovascular development and function. Moreover, aberrant PRDM16 expression has now been linked to (cardio)vascular diseases, including left ventricular non-compaction, migraine, and coronary artery disease. In this review, we give a synopsis of PRDM16's expression and function within (developing) cardiovascular tissues and provide insights into how impaired PRDM16 signalling contributes to cardiovascular disease.
