The role of BAG3 in dilated cardiomyopathy and its association with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2.
Review in Acta myologica : myopathies and cardiomyopathies : official journal of the Mediterranean Society of Myology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Bcl2-associated athanogene 3 (BAG3) is a multifunctional cochaperone responsible for protein quality control within cells. BAG3 interacts with chaperones HSPB8 and Hsp70 to transport misfolded proteins to the Microtubule Organizing Center (MTOC) and degrade them in autophagosomes in a process known as Chaperone Assisted Selective Autophagy (CASA). Mutations in the second conserved IPV motif of BAG3 are known to cause Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) by inhibiting adequate removal of non-native proteins. The proline 209 to leucine (P209L) BAG3 mutant in particular causes the aggregation of BAG3 and misfolded proteins as well as the sequestration of essential chaperones. The exact mechanisms of protein aggregation in DCM are unknown. However, the similar presence of insoluble protein aggregates in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 (CMT2) induced by the proline 182 to leucine (P182L) HSPB1 mutant points to a possible avenue for future research: IPV motif. In this review, we summarize the molecular mechanisms of CASA and the currently known pathological effects of mutated BAG3 in DCM. Additionally, we will provide insight on the importance of the IPV motif in protein aggregation by analyzing a potential association between DCM and CMT2.
