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

Heart failure is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, representing the end stage of cardiovascular diseases that induce pathological cardiac remodeling. At the cellular level, pathological remodeling includes myocyte hypertrophy and decreased survival, changes in myocyte metabolism and contractility, and interstitial myocardial fibrosis, all of which are controlled by a complex network of intracellular signaling pathways. At the outer nuclear envelope of the cardiomyocyte, A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP) 6β (also known as mAKAPβ) organizes multimolecular signaling complexes called "signalosomes," which include over 25 different signaling enzymes and effector proteins that, in response to cAMP, calcium, and phosphoinositide second messengers, regulate gene expression. The AKAP6β scaffold also binds other scaffold proteins such as AKAP9, permitting higher-order interactions between signaling molecules at the nuclear envelope and adjacent Golgi apparatus. Together, these protein complexes present novel opportunities for compartmentalized inhibition of pathophysiological cardiac remodeling. Both basic molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic approaches are considered, because this review highlights recent advances in the role of AKAP6 in coordinating compartmentalized signaling and the regulation of cardiomyocyte gene expression promoting heart failure. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Heart failure is a syndrome of major public health significance. Novel therapies for the treatment of cardiac disease are needed to improve patient quality of life, reduce symptoms, and manage comorbidities associated with heart disease. The A-kinase anchoring protein 6β signalosome has been shown to orchestrate multiple pathological signaling pathways in the cardiomyocyte that induce cardiac disease. Targeting this signalosome should comprise more specific therapeutics for heart failure with fewer side effects than those associated with current treatments.
