Exercise training ameliorates myocardial dysfunction through fibronectin-mediated mechanotransduction in a swine model of ischemic heart disease.

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
Exercise training has been shown to reverse cardiac dysfunction in patients and animal models of coronary artery disease; however, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Transmembrane integrins that connect the extracellular matrix (ECM) and intracellular cytoskeleton are important for mechanotransduction in cardiomyocytes. We tested the hypothesis that exercise training would increase cardiac contractile function by modulating the adhesion force between integrins and ECM proteins and subsequent cell signaling and stiffness in myocytes from ischemic porcine hearts. Ameroid occluders were surgically placed around the proximal left circumflex coronary artery of adult Yucatan pigs. Animals subsequently completed either a sedentary or endurance exercise (treadmill run 5 days/wk for 14 wk) protocol, after which myocardium was isolated from nonoccluded and collateral-dependent regions. The collateral-dependent myocardial region exhibited increased fibrosis, inflammatory cytokines, and collagen I and III levels, which were ameliorated with exercise training. Exercise also increased fibronectin and β1 integrin and decreased β3 integrin levels in collateral-dependent myocardium compared with that of sedentary pigs. Atomic force microscopy revealed that an increase in fibronectin-integrin adhesion force was mediated by α
