Early Stage Morphogenesis of Transverse Tubules in Rat Cardiomyocytes: The Role of pBIN1.

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.
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
backgroundTransverse tubules (TTs) are tubular invaginations of myocyte membrane forming junctions with sarcoplasmic reticulum and are essential for excitation-contraction coupling. Although it is known that TTs begin to develop 2 weeks after birth in rodent cardiomyocytes, the spatial profile and molecular mechanisms of TT morphogenesis are not clear. Understanding the molecular mechanism of TT morphogenesis may provide potential solutions for TT loss in pathogenic conditions such as hypertrophy and heart failure.
methodsTo understand early stage morphogenesis of cardiac TTs, we utilized a scanning electron microscope equipped with a focused ion beam to reconstruct a 3-dimensional spatial profile of developing TT network in cardiomyocytes from 2-week-old rats. We created tamoxifen-inducible cardiac-specific knockout rats to explore the role of exons 11 and 13 of the
resultsWe found that TTs began to develop as intracellular membrane hubs around Z-discs, from which pseudopod-like tubules budded in a relatively random way toward different directions without necessarily connecting to the cell surface. A tubule network forms when membrane branches from adjacent hubs are interconnected. Cardiac-specific knockout of
conclusionsTTs start to develop as budding tubules branching from membrane hubs around Z-discs. This process depends at least partially on the tubulation function of pBIN1 (BIN1 isoforms with PIBM [Bin1+11 and Bin1+11+17]), which is constitutively expressed in rat and human cardiomyocytes. Defective TT morphogenesis due to altered
