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

background and hypothesisHypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is considered a metabolic disease, but it is unknown whether all sarcomeric protein gene mutations lead to similar derangements of cardiac energy metabolism. Our prior studies showing differences in mitochondrial function in mouse models led us to hypothesize that HCM mutations lead to allele-specific metabolic pathway remodeling. In order to test this hypothesis, we examined cardiac substrate utilization using a triple tracer approach that simultaneously assays fatty acid (FA), ketone, and glucose oxidation, in R403Q-MyHC and R92W-TnT perfused hearts at established disease stage.

methodsMouse hearts (14-16 weeks old) were Langendorff-perfused to steady state

resultsUsing a model of citric acid cycle (CAC) metabolism that equates MVO

conclusionCardiac metabolic flux measurements revealed an energy-deficient cardiac phenotype in R403Q-MyHC mutants, but not R92W-TnT mutants, reflecting allele-specific remodeling of cardiac energy metabolism. These results suggest that therapeutics aimed at downregulation of FA or carbohydrate metabolism may have mutation-specific effects.
