MARK4 aggravates cardiac dysfunction in mice with STZ-induced diabetic cardiomyopathy by regulating ACSL4-mediated myocardial lipid metabolism.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a specific type of cardiomyopathy. In DCM, glucose uptake and utilization are impaired due to insulin deficiency or resistance, and the heart relies more heavily on fatty acid oxidation for energy, resulting in myocardial lipid toxicity-related injury. MARK4 is a member of the AMPK-related kinase family, and improves ischaemic heart failure through microtubule detyrosination. However, the role of MARK4 in cardiac regulation of metabolism is unclear. In this study, after successful establishment of a diabetic cardiomyopathy model induced by streptozotocin and a high-fat diet, MARK4 expression was found to be significantly increased in STZ-induced DCM mice. After AAV9-shMARK4 was administered through the tail vein, decreased expression of MARK4 alleviated diabetic myocardial damage, reduced oxidative stress and apoptosis, and facilitated cardiomyocyte mitochondrial fusion, and promoted myocardial lipid oxidation metabolism. In addition, through the RNA-seq analysis of differentially expressed genes, we found that MARK4 deficiency promoted lipid decomposition and oxidative metabolism by downregulating the expression of ACSL4, thus reducing myocardial lipid accumulation in the STZ-induced DCM model.
