Paternal sleep deprivation and cardiac dysfunction in offspring: A perspective of myocardial hypertrophy.

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
The objective of this work is to assess the effects and potential process of paternal acute sleep deprivation on cardiac function in their offspring. Male and female C57BL/6N mice aged 8-9 weeks (n = 4-5 mice/group) were used. Male mice were selected to construct an acute sleep deprivation model using the modified multiple platform method (MMPM) and mated with normal female mice. After gestation, the weight change of offspring mice was observed and recorded. At the time of 10 weeks, the changes of cardiac function were evaluated by blood pressure, heart rate and echocardiography; cardiac histology and cytopathological changes were observed by haematoxylin-eosin staining; and the molecular mechanism induced by acute paternal sleep deprivation were further elucidated by molecular biological techniques. In the acute sleep deprivation group, male offspring showed significant cardiac hypertrophy, whereas female offspring did not. mRNA levels of GATA binding protein 4 (GATA4) (P < 0.01) and mRNA levels of classic hypertrophic genes, such as atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) (P < 0.05) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) (P < 0.05), increased significantly in the hearts of the acute sleep deprivation group. Paternal acute sleep deprivation may lead to cardiac dysfunction in offspring through cardiac hypertrophy.
