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

Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is a key precursor to heart failure. The role of Xanthatin in this process was unknown. This study aimed to investigate its effects and molecular target. A mouse model of Ang II-induced hypertrophy was used. Xanthatin's effects were assessed by echocardiography and histology. Cardiac-specific overexpression or knockdown of CREB5 was performed using AAV9-cTNT vectors during Ang II and Xanthatin co-treatment to validate its functional role. Xanthatin treatment significantly alleviated Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy, oxidative stress, fibrosis, and inflammation. Crucially, cardiac-specific overexpression of CREB5 markedly attenuated these protective effects of Xanthatin. Conversely, cardiac-specific knockdown of CREB5 synergized with Xanthatin, further enhancing its suppressive actions on all pathological hallmarks. Xanthatin is a potent inhibitor of Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy, and its protective effect is mediated through the suppression of CREB5 signaling. This identifies the Xanthatin-CREB5 axis as a novel and promising therapeutic target for pathological cardiac remodeling.
