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 phospholamban (PLN) R14del genetic variant causes dilated cardiomyopathy. Previous studies suggest involvement of the ER stress response and impairment of ER-related signaling pathways such as autophagy. In this study, human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs) from an unrelated control subject, a PLN-R14del patient, and a corresponding isogenic control were transduced with adeno-associated virus serotype 6 (AAV6) encoding the endoplasmic reticulum calcium sensor CEPIAer. Indicator compounds for the modulation of ER calcium homeostasis showed similar characteristic effects on CEPIAer fluorescence intensity in engineered heart tissues (EHTs) from all three cell lines, validating CEPIAer fluorescence intensity as a surrogate for ER calcium loading. Cytoplasmic calcium loading induced by high extracellular calcium concentration revealed subtle alterations in PLN-R14del that were consistent with higher ER calcium loading. FACS analyses of dissociated cardiomyocytes confirmed higher ER calcium load. Taken together, this study provides evidence for altered ER calcium loading as a new disease mechanism in PLN-R14del cardiomyopathy.
