Systems biology approach to exploring the effect of cyclic stretching on cardiac cell physiology.
Article in Aging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Although mechanical forces are involved in pressure-overloaded cardiomyopathy, their effects on gene transcription profiles are not fully understood. Here, we used next-generation sequencing (NGS) to investigate changes in genomic profiles after cyclic mechanical stretching of human cardiomyocytes. We found that 85, 87, 32, 29, and 28 genes were differentially expressed after 1, 4, 12, 24, and 48 hours of stretching. Furthermore, 10 of the 29 genes that were up-regulated and 11 of the 28 that were down-regulated after 24 h showed the same changes after 48 h. We then examined expression of the genes that encode serpin family E member 1 (SERPINE1), DNA-binding protein inhibitor 1 (ID1), DNA-binding protein inhibitor 3 (ID3), and CCL2, a cytokine that acts as chemotactic factor in monocytes, in an RT-PCR experiment. The same changes were observed for all four genes after all cyclic stretching durations, confirming the NGS results. Taken together, these findings suggest that cyclical stretching can alter cardiac cell physiology by activating cardiac cell metabolism and impacting cholesterol biosynthesis signaling.
