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

The role of the peptide hormone angiotensin (AngII) in promoting myocardial hypertrophy is well documented. Our studies demonstrate that AngII uses a signaling pathway in cardiac myocytes in which the promoter of the gene encoding its prohormone, angiotensinogen, serves as the target site for activated signal transduction and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins. Gel mobility-shift assay revealed that STAT3 and STAT6 are selectively activated by AngII treatment of cardiomyocytes in culture and bind to a sequence motif (St-domain) in the angiotensinogen promoter to activate its transcription in transient transfection assay. We have also observed a dramatic increase in the St-domain binding activity of STAT proteins in the hypertrophied heart of the genetically hypertensive rat relative to that of the aged-matched normotensive strain WKY, providing a compelling argument in favor of the linkage of STAT pathway to the heart tissue autocrine AngII loop. These studies thus uncover a mechanism by which the activation of a selective set of STATs underlies mobilization of the gene activation program intrinsic to cardiac hypertrophy.
