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

backgroundChronically elevated neurohumoral drive, and particularly elevated adrenergic tone leading to β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) overstimulation in cardiac myocytes, is a key mechanism involved in the progression of heart failure. β1-AR (β1-adrenergic receptor) and β2-ARs (β2-adrenergic receptor) are the 2 major subtypes of β-ARs present in the human heart; however, they elicit different or even opposite effects on cardiac function and hypertrophy. For example, chronic activation of β1-ARs drives detrimental cardiac remodeling while β2-AR signaling is protective. The underlying molecular mechanisms for cardiac protection through β2-ARs remain unclear.

methodsβ2-AR signaling mechanisms were studied in isolated neonatal rat ventricular myocytes and adult mouse ventricular myocytes using live cell imaging and Western blotting methods. Isolated myocytes and mice were used to examine the roles of β2-AR signaling mechanisms in the regulation of cardiac hypertrophy.

resultsHere, we show that β2-AR activation protects against hypertrophy through inhibition of phospholipaseCε signaling at the Golgi apparatus. The mechanism for β2-AR-mediated phospholipase C inhibition requires internalization of β2-AR, activation of Gi and Gβγ subunit signaling at endosome and ERK (extracellular regulated kinase) activation. This pathway inhibits both angiotensin II and Golgi-β1-AR-mediated stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis at the Golgi apparatus ultimately resulting in decreased PKD (protein kinase D) and histone deacetylase 5 phosphorylation and protection against cardiac hypertrophy.

conclusionsThis reveals a mechanism for β2-AR antagonism of the phospholipase Cε pathway that may contribute to the known protective effects of β2-AR signaling on the development of heart failure.
