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

Coronary microembolization (CME) is a serious cardiovascular complication that causes severe cardiac dysfunction and arrhythmias. Glutathione (GSH) exhaustion-induced oxidative stress is a key contributor to CME. Here, we explore the molecular mechanisms underlying GSH imbalance during CME. We show that CME induces myocardial injury by disturbing GSH homeostasis, which is ameliorated by glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (GCLM) or glutaminase (GLS) overexpression. Lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (KDM1A) removes H3K9me1/2 from the promoter regions of GCLM and GLS to promote their epigenetic expression, thereby maintaining GSH homeostasis in CME. KDM1A is ubiquitinated at the K355 site during CME via inhibiting ubiquitin-specific peptidase 16 (USP16)-mediated deubiquitination. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) facilitates S-nitrosylation (SNO) of USP16 at the C731 site, contributing to KDM1A ubiquitination and causing GSH imbalance during CME. Altogether, SNO-USP16 inhibition stabilizes the KDM1A protein to epigenetically activate GCLM and GLS, thus maintaining GSH homeostasis and relieving CME-induced myocardial injury.
