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

An increase in mental stress is a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The present study investigated the relationships between stress, glucocorticoid receptors (GR), and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. We subjected male and female mice lacking cardiomyocyte GR (CardioGRKO) and their respective controls to a murine model of mental stress (restraint stress). Following stress exposure, mice from both experimental and control groups underwent I/R injury via surgical ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Our findings suggest that the absence of cardiomyocyte GR mitigates the detrimental effects of restraint stress on infarct size and improves post-I/R survival rates in female mice. We found that cardiomyocyte GR deficiency protects the female heart from stress-induced damage by reducing oxidative stress (superoxide and lipid peroxide production). This study is the first to test the impact of systemic stress on cardiomyocyte GR activation, linking it to redox stress in the heart during I/R injury. Our findings provide proof of concept that stress exacerbates cardiomyocyte GR-mediated responses to myocardial infarction (MI) in the female heart. These insights may contribute to the development of sex-specific treatments and therapies tailored for women.
