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 transition from cardiac hypertrophy to heart failure is characterized by metabolic changes like downregulation of fatty acid metabolism in favor of increased glucose utilization. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B (CPT1B) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the carnitine shuttle and is an essential enzyme for fatty acid oxidation. Down-regulation of CPT1B activity has been associated with heart failure in patients and various experimental models, indicating an important role in metabolic remodeling. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether CPT1B overexpression could play a therapeutic role in heart failure. Gene transfer of CPT1B using adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors into neonatal rat cardiomyocytes significantly attenuated phenylephrine-induced hypertrophy and resulted in decreased generation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species. In mice subjected to transverse aortic constriction, AAV-mediated cardiac overexpression of CPT1B attenuated cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, cardiac fibrosis, and systolic dysfunction in vivo. Upregulation of CPT1B expression might therefore represent a promising approach to treat or prevent heart failure.
