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

backgroundCoronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) caused a large number of infections worldwide. Although some patients recovered from the disease, some of the other problems that accompanied it, such as cardiac injury, could affect the patient's subsequent quality of life and prognosis.

objectivesTo clarify the molecular mechanism of cardiac injury in SARS-CoV-2 Infection.

methodsThe RNA-Seq dataset (GSE184715) comparing expression profiling of Mock human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) and SARS-CoV-2-infected hiPSC-CMs was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Differentially expressed genes(DEGs) were performed by the R software. Degs were analyzed by enrichment analysis to clarify the affected pathways. Hub genes were screened out by a PPI network constructed from Degs. Finally, Connectivity Map was used to screen for the treatment of COVID-19 induced cardiac injury.

results2705 differentially expressed genes were identified. Enrichment analysis confirmed that mitochondrial dysfunction was caused by SARS-CoV-2, meanwhile, cardiac muscle contraction was suppressed and NF-κB was activated. Based on the PPI network, 15 hub genes were identified. These 15 down-regulated hub genes were mainly involved in the reduced activity of complexes in the mitochondrial respiratory chain associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Moreover, 5 candidate drugs were identified to treat cardiac injury.

conclusionIn conclusion, SARS-CoV-2 infection of cardiomyocytes causes mitochondrial dysfunction, including reduced mitochondrial respiratory chain complex activity and decreased ATP synthesis, leading to cardiomyocyte apoptosis, while the activated NF-κB also induced cytokine storms, ultimately resulting in cardiac injury.
