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

Junctophilin-2 (JPH2) is an essential structural protein that maintains the integrity of junctional membrane complexes (JMCs) in cardiomyocytes, thereby playing its canonical role in excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling. Recent studies reveal novel, nonstructural functions of JPH2 in cardiomyocytes, including regulation of mitochondrial function, lipid metabolism, nuclear signaling, and innate immune responses. Calpain-mediated cleavage of JPH2 generates nuclear fragments, which differentially modulate stress responses. Moreover, full-length JPH2 also localizes to the nucleus, where it forms phase-separated nuclear droplets during oxidative stress. Collectively, these findings highlight JPH2 as a multifunctional protein with critical roles beyond its canonical structural function in E-C coupling.
